The Calm Chair MethodTM is a child-centered approach to pediatric behavior modification that rtransforms fear for the very beginning and replaces it with trust and cooperation.
The method focuses on creating a safe, predictable, and friendly dental experience where the child feels heard and in control. Gentle communication, tell-show-do techniques, and positive reinforcement are combined with a soothing environment, slow pacing, and sensory awareness. Instead of any push, adaptation to the child’s emotional and developmental needs is the method of approach which allows gradual acceptance of treatment.
Apart from all the above time tested soft methods of behavior modifications, The Calm Chair MethodTM brings forth diverse permutations and combinations of Neurobehavioral Sciences such as NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), EFT ( Emotional Freedom Technique), Buteyko Breathing, Child Development Psychology, Theta Healing, Psyche-K, Hypnotherapy and EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage).
Consistent and continual application of these Neurobehavior techniques, a sense of safety and control is fostered, which is essential for a child’s mental health.
Reducing dental anxiety not only creates a more pleasant experience but also encourages better cooperation, making it easier for the dentist to perform necessary treatments.
Over time, this leads to the development of positive dental habits and a healthier relationship with dental care, promoting overall well-being.
