Successful management of the behavior of the preschool child is a prerequisite for the dental experience to be pleasant for both the child and the dentist. There are many ways for the dentist to interface with children, but none is as desirable with cooperative or potentially cooperative preschool children than techniques in the linguistic domain. Fortunately, because most children are very competent in communicating in language sometime around their third birthday, such techniques are reliably effective with preschool children. Knowing the reasons why a seemingly potentially cooperative preschooler may not be so is important to the dentist seeking mastery skills in working with this age group. Another extremely important issue in behavioral pediatric dentistry at this time is the role of the parents in the dental appointment and their right to informed consent for certain behavioral management strategies.
成功管理学龄前儿童的行为，是让孩子和牙医都能拥有愉快看牙体验的前提条件。牙医与孩子互动的方式有很多，但对于合作型或潜在合作型的学龄前儿童来说，没有什么比语言领域的技巧更理想了。幸运的是，由于大多数孩子在三岁左右的某个时候在语言交流方面已经非常熟练，所以这些技巧对学龄前儿童非常有效。了解为什么一个看似有潜在合作意愿的学龄前儿童可能并非如此，对于寻求与这个年龄段孩子打交道的熟练技巧的牙医来说很重要。此时，儿童行为牙科中另一个极其重要的问题是家长在看牙预约中的角色以及他们对某些行为管理策略的知情同意权。
