Dental Linguistic Maturity
Linguistic maturity as a determinant of child patient behavior with dentist and dental office.
Dentists proved that dentistry today for children has become more efficient, less painful, and more prevention oriented. Dental decay for many American children was dramatically decreased in the last quarter of the 20th century.
Because of these two facts paired, stories about how pleasant the dental appointment can be would seem to predict that child patient management and the interception of inappropriate behavior would not be a critical skill for the dental clinician that treats children today and the stories about dentists and dentistry being painful are gone in many American communities and have been replaced.
The child's dental experience is a complex conversation between the dentists as requester and the child patient as the promisor of effective actions to the dentists' reasonable requests.
