Application Question(s):
A parent brings in their highly anxious 4-year-old for a routine preventive visit (prophy, fluoride, and x-rays). The child is crying, clinging to the parent, and refusing to sit in the chair.
Walk me through how you would manage this behavior to successfully complete the prophy and x-rays. Once done, what exact details do you input into your clinical notes, and how do you discuss the child's oral hygiene habits and future treatment needs with the parent in a way that motivates them without making them feel judged?
