title: Anxious children: coping in dental practice.
abstract: Treating anxious children is a challenge that many dentists face. Not only do anxious children find it difficult to cope with dental treatment but dentists also find it difficult to cope with anxious children. This article is intended to simplify the management of anxious children in general dental practice. Behavioural management, the coordination of the whole dental team, treatment planning and the use of inhalation sedation will be discussed.
