Abstract(s)
A ansiedade em Odontopediatria é uma sensação comum que pode afetar negativamente a experiência das crianças na consulta e, consequentemente, prejudicar os tratamentos dentários. A perceção das crianças relativamente às consultas no médico dentista é influenciada significativamente pelos pais ou cuidadores. De forma a garantir tratamentos eficazes e diminuir a ansiedade na consulta, é fundamental entender o papel dos pais ou cuidadores neste contexto.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi responder à questão “Qual o papel dos cuidadores no controlo comportamental da criança em consulta de Odontopediatria?”. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura para compreender a importância dos pais ou cuidadores e quais as estratégias de controlo de comportamento que estes podem ter/usar de forma a facilitar a visita da criança à consulta odontopediátrica.
O comportamento, a atitude e a comunicação dos cuidadores são elementos fundamentais para moldar a experiência da criança. Deste modo, quando os pais demonstram confiança e tranquilidade, as crianças tendem a sentir-se mais seguras e menos ansiosas.
Através desta revisão verificou-se que existem algumas estratégias que os pais ou cuidadores podem executar antes da consulta dentária tais como a leitura de livros ou até as mais recentes aplicações para smartphones. Além destas, também as técnicas de controlo comportamental no consultório são de extrema importância para que a criança se sinta menos ansiosa.
O médico dentista tem um papel fundamental na educação dos pais ou cuidadores. Quando estes são informados sobre as práticas recomendadas em Odontopediatria, as consultas tendem a correr de uma forma mais favorável pois estes podem adotar estratégias que reduzam a ansiedade das suas crianças.
Anxiety in pediatric dentistry is a common sensation that can negatively impact children's experiences during appointments and, consequently, impair dental treatments. Children's perceptions of dental visits are significantly influenced by parents or caregivers. To ensure effective treatments and reduce anxiety during appointments, it is crucial to understand the role of caregivers in this context. The aim of this work was to address the question "what strategies can parents/caregivers adopt before pediatric dentistry appointments to reduce anxiety in children?" A literature review was conducted in order to understand the importance of parents and the behavioral control strategies they can employ to facilitate the child's visit to the pediatric dental clinic. The behavior, attitude, and communication of parents or caregivers are fundamental elements in shaping the child's experience. Thus, when parents demonstrate confidence and calmness, children tend to feel more secure and less anxious. Through this review, it was found that there were several strategies caregivers could implement before dental appointments, such as reading books or even using the latest smartphone applications. In addition to these, behavioral control techniques in the dental office are extremely important for reducing the child's anxiety. The dentist plays a crucial role in educating caregivers. When informed about recommended practices in pediatric dentistry, appointments tend to proceed more favorably as parents or caregivers can adopt strategies to reduce children's anxiety.
