Non-Pharmacological Behaviour Management in Pediatric Dentistry

Generation Alpha are those children born from 2010 to 2025, and due to the current social context, they are focused on technology and can become digital influencers with peculiar experiences in this regard, despite their low age. Therefore, this new generation has no credit yet and, even so, they are impacting the expenses of their Generation Y parents. The 21st-century children pose some challenges to healthcare professionals because their style of life has changed in the past decades. They participate in various social life activities in a more engaged way and have a more technological experience, living more in a home and school environment and being strongly driven by consumption. In this sense, they have the knowledge and experiences no longer limited only to family or school but are processed through interactions with media and several other information sources. Hence this book gives an exact picture of all the non pharmacological behaviour management strategies in different clinical situations while treating children in dental setups.
