\u201cParents play a role in instilling fear of dentists in\nchildren (dental fear). The parents\u2019 behavior and belief heavily influence the\nchild\u2019s behavior, including dental fear,\u201d said Prof. Dr. Arlette Suzy Puspa\nPertiwi, drg., Sp.KGA, M.Si.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Arlette spoke as such when she was reading a\nscientific oration as she was inaugurated a professor position in Child\nDentistry in the Universitas Padjadjaran Faculty of Dentistry. The scientific\noration read by Prof. Arlette is titled \u201cTowards a Caries-Free Indonesia through\na Model of the Relationship between Parents\u2019 Dental Belief and the Formation of\nDental Fear in Pre-School Children\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Explained by Prof. Arlette, the process of learning dental\nfear could be derived from the child\u2019s experience that causes negative reaction\nand can also be learned from their environment. Socioeconomic, cultural, family\nrelation, and child rearing factors, as well as dental fear experienced by\nparents can trigger dental fear in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe ability of children in facing dental care doesn\u2019t only\ndepend on psychological and cognitive development level, but also on the\npresence of dental fear in parents,\u201d she spoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof Arlette explained that dental care techniques in\nchildren and adults are different. Dental care procedures for adults only\ninvolves interaction between the dentist and the patient themselves, but for\nchildren it involves interaction between the dentist, the child, and the\nparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn child dentistry, interaction between the dentist, the\nchild, and the parent is called the Pediatric Treatment Tringle. It\u2019s clear\nthat the parents have a role in determining the success of dental care,\u201d she\nexplained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Arlette said, the structural determination model of\nthe direct connection between parents\u2019 dental belief with the formation of\ndental fear in pre-school aged children in Bandung generates a significantly\nfit model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSome parental behaviors contribute in forming dental fear\nin pre-school children following the negative information spread, direct\nconditioning, and vicarious learning,\u201d told Prof. Arlette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concerning the problem, Prof. Arlette explained, negative\ninformation spread can be in the form of parents\u2019 expression about dentists\nthat is associated with invasive care as well as through threat-sounding\ninformation. Meanwhile, direct conditioning can be from parental behavior that\ncauses discomfort in children when the child is given dental care. Lastly,\nvicarious learning through parental behavior when they are given dental care\nthat is observed by children through seeing or hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the generation of model of the relationship between\nparents\u2019 dental belief to the formation of dental fear in children, hopefully\nthis model can be a basis for a socialization program to decrease children\u2019s\nfear of dentists which will indirectly decrease the amount of caries in\nchildren,\u201d she hoped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
