Negative dental experiences in childhood can lead to long-term aversion to dental care, negatively impacting oral health. In school dental outreach programs, the shift from one-on-one clinical care to group-based environments presents unique challenges for pediatric dentists, as peer influence and group dynamics can affect children's behavior and anxiety levels. Despite the need for specialized behavior management techniques tailored to these settings, research on their application and effectiveness in pediatric dentistry is limited.
