Children with the special health care needs may often be a challenge to the dentist in their management. These children with the special needs often find themselves difficult to cooperate during treatment, creating a harmful situation. Many techniques have been implicated in modern pediatric dentistry for the management of these children. It is generally believed that the non pharmacological behavior management techniques cannot be used successfully with these children. Physical restraints and pharmacological management techniques are the most commonly used strategies. This paper highlights that the proper use of non-pharmacological behavior management techniques can be very effective to teach these children coping skills that may enable to receive a comprehensive dental care over their life time.
