Abstract— —Five years experience by the authors in organizing a dental psychology clinic has impressed on them that many excessively fearful child patients have a history of untoward dental and medical experiences which might have been prevented.A background to an understanding of fear and anxiety in children is presented, and two cases are described to illustrate straight‐forward behaviour modification techniques which can be used to help the fearful or excessively anxious child cope with dental treatment.
