Dental treatment Fear in Children - Dr. Saumya Taneja (Pedodontist) Mayur Vihar Phase 2


We at Bloom Dental Care, Mayur Vihar Phase - 2, help and support children to overcome dental phobia before and during their dental check-up and treatments.

Bloom dental care plays a crucial role in helping children overcome dental phobia through various supportive measures and strategies tailored to their needs.

Firstly, by creating a child-friendly environment which is essential. We have designed our waiting areas and treatment rooms accordingly, welcoming, and equipped with Tv screen, toys or books that distract and comfort our young patients. This helps alleviate initial anxiety and sets a positive tone for the visit.

Secondly, communication is key. Dr. Saumya Taneja an experienced Pedodontist (pediatric dentist) owns Bloom Dental Care, she and her dental staff are trained to use age-appropriate language to explain procedures in a non-threatening manner to kids. They take the time to answer their questions and address concerns, building trust and reducing all dental phobia and fear through transparency.

Pain management techniques are also employed to minimize discomfort during dental treatments. This may include the use of topical numbing gels before injections, and gentle, gradual approaches to procedures to ensure minimal pain and trauma.

Furthermore, distraction techniques such as playing soothing music, using TVs to watch cartoons, or engaging in interactive games during treatments can divert kids attention away from anxiety-inducing aspects of the visit.

Dental professionals also emphasize the importance of preventive care and education.

Dr. Saumya guides children and their parents about proper oral hygiene practices and the reasons behind dental visits, they empower families to take proactive steps in maintaining dental and oral health, which can reduce fear associated with unfamiliarity.

Additionally, we offer behavioral management techniques such as positive reinforcement and desensitization methods. This involves gradually exposing children to dental tools and procedures in a controlled, supportive environment to help them build confidence and reduce fear over time.
Dr Saumya is also trained in providing dental treatment under laughing gas sedation and general anaesthesia to highly uncooperative kids and  children with special health care needs.

Ultimately, the goal of Dr. Saumya Taneja who has 13+ years of experience in Child Dentistry at Bloom Dental Care Mayur Vihar, Phase 2, is to create a positive, reassuring experience that fosters trust, reduces anxiety, and promotes lifelong dental health habits among children by implementing these supportive strategies.
