Alternative Approaches to Behaviour Management in Pediatric Dentistry provides a comprehensive and evidence-based overview of contemporary non-pharmacological strategies for managing dental anxiety and promoting cooperative behaviour in children. Drawing upon current research and clinical evidence, the book explores a range of innovative behaviour guidance techniques, including aromatherapy, acupressure, acupuncture, hypnosis, music therapy, magic distraction, bubble breath play therapy, stress ball therapy, virtual reality and mobile gaming. By examining their scientific basis, clinical applications, advantages, and limitations, this volume highlights the growing shift toward child-centred, minimally invasive approaches in pediatric dental care. Intended for students, academicians, researchers and clinicians, the book serves as a valuable resource for enhancing patient comfort, improving treatment outcomes, and fostering positive lifelong attitudes toward oral healthcare.
