Management of Dental Caries, Behavior management: “the Tell-show-do technique”

Behavior management: Tell Show Do is an essential behavior modification technique. The “Tell-show-do” technique for pediatric patients works best for the kid. This technique helps children work through their fears and curiosities in a new situation, be it a simple dental examination or more detailed.

The technique is simple to understand but not so simple to practice. It is not just about telling something, showing something, and doing it. It is a presentation given to a child for which the child may not be attentive. Please watch this video to see this in action.
