Wright's Behavior Management in Dentistry for Children, 4th Edition – Premium Multicolor Matt Print

Wright's Behavior Management in Dentistry for Children (4th Edition), edited by Ari Kupietzky and Janice Townsend, is the standard reference on managing children's behaviour in the dental chair. It is the book that defined the subject, and this edition brings its guidance in line with current evidence and present-day expectations of parents, children and clinicians.

Treating children well is as much about communication as it is about dentistry. This book gives you practical, evidence-based techniques for building trust, reducing fear and completing treatment safely, from the routine check-up to the anxious child who will not open their mouth.
