About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Parenting Style in Group of Children With Primary Dentition in Their First Dental Visit- A Cross Sectional Study

Prevalence of parenting style and assessment of child behavior and caries experience in relation to parenting style during first dental visit.

Read the detailed description

The success of dental visit depends on the child's behavior and cooperation which can be recognized from the child's first visit. Child's behavior can be affected by the parenting style. There are four types of parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and neglecting, each affects the child in different ways.

Recently parenting styles became very interesting since parents are the primary caregivers and they have a great impact on the child's psychological and emotional development.

However, every parent seeks for a rapid and easy treatment for their children, but if the child is uncooperative that will require multiple dental visits , more expenses or he/she might undergo general anesthesia which is more expensive.

Also, the parent-child relationship is very important ,bad relationship can cause insecurities, lack of self confidence and trust, resulting in the future a fearful and irresponsible man / woman.
