Abstract
Children have different views about pediatric dentists and
different perceptions about their personalities. If you have ever
talked to these children, you will find that they live in a fantasy
world and have a special conception of anyone and everything.
They most often analyze the dentist’s dressing, his talking, gestures,
and behaviors in their mind. Sometimes in the children’s world, the
group of dentists is considered as kind and loving people in the
society, and in some cases, they are considered as hard-hearted
and disgusting people. According to a study was published in the
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 50% of young children looked at
the dentist as a superhero, but 30% of children named the dentist
as a monster and a villain.
