Abstract

Parent responses to the case presentation dealt most often with technical aspects of care (tooth discolorations, alignments, etc.) while responses to the post-treatment questionnaire almost always dealt with empathy, interest, or good manners on the part of the dentist. The findings show that parents have a variety of concerns about dental care and that more than one type of interaction is necessary to uncover them. In a pre-doctoral setting, which emphasizes technical skills, the questionnaire can point out first-hand the patient’s feelings. It can also be used in a responsive private practice.
