Should parents be allowed into the operatory during a child’s dental treatment? This question has been a long-standing debate among the dental profession.
In this video, Dr. Sanjukta Mohanta, general dentist from Brampton, Ontario, addresses why this is such a conflicted issue among dental practitioners. She presents both sides of the argument and offers valuable advice on how to best manage parents in the operatory.
“I think it’s a really good idea to have an office policy. If a parent wants to be in the operatory, have some guidelines for the parent to read.”
