Parents play both a guiding and supportive role in the pediatric dentistry process. They contribute to the treatment process by ensuring routine tooth brushing and healthy eating habits at home. To ensure a child feels comfortable sitting in the dentist’s chair, parents should use positive guidance and supportive communication. Furthermore, making dental visits enjoyable and implementing rewarding strategies increases child compliance with treatment. Informed parental involvement both supports the child’s healthy dental development and strengthens their collaboration with the dentist.
