Advances in the application of laughing gas in pediatric dentistry
笑气在儿童牙科治疗的应用进展

摘要

儿童牙科畏惧症描述的是患儿在牙科治疗过程中，牙病患儿表现出的紧张、恐惧以及忧郁的心理状态，与此同时他们在行为上也表现出更高的敏感性、更低的耐受性，甚至可能对治疗产生抗拒。随着社会经济发展和人们生活水平提高，儿童作为口腔保健对象越来越受到家长和医生的关注，而牙科恐惧症又是其重要因素之一。当儿童接受牙科治疗时，他们的恐惧情绪可能会通过各种行为来体现，例如面部紧张、紧握双拳、肢体扭曲、大声哭泣或拒绝张口等。这些行为对于儿童牙病的准确诊断和全面治疗都有很大的影响，有时甚至可能导致治疗无法进行。

Abstract

Pediatric dental fear describes the psychological state of tension, fear and depression shown by children with dental disease during dental treatment. At the same time, they also show higher sensitivity and lower tolerance in behavior, and may even resist treatment. With the development of the social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, children as health care objects are more and more concerned with parents and doctors, and dental phobia is one of the important factors. When a child receives dental treatment, their fear may manifest itself in a variety of behaviors, such as facial tension, clenching of hands, twisting of limbs, crying loudly, or refusing to open their mouth. These behaviors have a great impact on the accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of dental disease in children, and sometimes can even cause treatment to be impossible.
