[quote=Anonymous]I would switch, OP. I am a licensed child psychologist. Having a child with anxiety myself I have learned that most dentists have very little understanding of behavior management outside of "separate child from mom". For some kids, it is absolutely necessary, and for some kids, it makes the situation a lot worse. Our first dentist really could not open her mind to the idea that some kids use parents for support, not escape, so we switched practices. I found a new place by emailing and asking what their policy was for having parents in the room during appointments and procedures. Places were pretty upfront about how open they were to the idea. We've been very happy at our current practice for a long time and both the dentist and orthodontist have no problem when I join my child. Most of the time I don't need to anymore, but when he asks it's not a big deal.[/quote]
