Behavior
Management
With pediatric patients, the times (and attitudes)
have changed over the years. Here's how to adjust
by Dr. James Nickman
James D. Nickman, DDS, MS,
president of the American
Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
(AAPD), earned his dental and
master's degrees from the
University of Minnesota and
was board certified in 2002.
Nickman also is chairman of
the Minnesota Dental Political
Action Committee and a board
member of the AAPD's political action committee. He is a
fellow of the American College of Dentists, the International
College of Dentists and the Pierre Fauchard Academy, and
has completed the AAPD Leadership Institute and Advanced
Leadership Institute programs.
Nickman maintains a private practice in the Twin Cities and
teaches part time at the University of Minnesota.

Treating children can be one of the most
challenging yet rewarding parts of your
clinical practice. Imagine an apprehensive
child presenting to your office for the first
time, nervous about new surroundings and
the unknown. The parents stand chairside
and support their child with affi rmative
and loving terms, while your team greets
her with a friendly smile and escorts her
back to the exam area.
After some discussion with the parents,
the patient is taken through the examination
using child-friendly terms. Radiographs
are needed, and even though there are a
few tears, your team gently reassures the
child and the images are captured. When
all is completed, the child gets out of the

chair and gives you a confident smile and
fist bump. Then reality hits and you realize
that the task is just beginning.
As you review the radiographs, you
note that there is interproximal decay
in the patient's posterior teeth that was
not clinically visible. Your mind starts to
assemble a treatment plan based on the
clinical findings. The options start to roll
regarding which treatment would be ideal,
whether it's something you feel comfortable
treating, and whether you think you'll be
able to walk the child through treatment.
The plan comes together and you discuss
it with the child's caregivers. Based on the
response, you begin to wonder what you've
overlooked, and it hits you-the parent!
