The Preference of Children and their Parents About the Pediatric Dentist’s Appearance

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To analyze whether children and their parents prefer a particular professional coat worn by the dentist and whether these preferences are influenced by their gender or level of anxiety.

Material and Methods:

Standardized images of male and female models dressed with different coats were shown to 400 pairs of 5-12 year-old children and respective parents and they were asked to point their preference. Information about child's dental experience was collected and children's anxiety level was obtained using the Children’s Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale.

Results:

Both children (55.5%) and parents (76.5%) preferred a female professional over a male one. Children preferred the dentist wearing a white coat, while adults preferred the dentist wearing a colored coat (p<0.05). There was a tendency for the child to choose a dentist with the same gender as theirs, so boys chose more male dentists and girls more female dentists (p<0.05), but there was no difference between the choice of the dentist’s coat between boys and girls (p=0.53).

Conclusion:

Children have strong preferences in relation to the appearance of their dentists. Children and parents preferred female dentists, but there was a tendency to choose the dentist with the respondent’s gender. Contrary to popular belief, children preferred their dentists wearing the conventional white coat, different from their parents who preferred dentists wearing a colored coat.

Introduction

It is fundamental for dentists to understand how behavioral management of pediatric patients should be, and to follow new techniques and changes within the contemporary development of dentistry [¹]. A good communication and a dentist’s appropriate behavior management can reduce children’s dental anxieties and motivate them to collaborate with the treatment [²]. By gaining the child's confidence, it becomes possible to deal with the causes of anxiety and to reduce their pre-existing fears [³].

Visual impression is a determining aspect of non-verbal communication for building a good relationship between dentist and patient [³]. During the first visit to the dental office, before any verbal communication, the impression about a dentist is developed based on clothing, hygiene and cleaning [⁴].

Currently, there is a tendency to use colored coats when providing dental care to pediatric patients [⁵]. However, there is no consensus regarding this conduct [⁶]. Some studies did not find a significant difference between the preferences of children and their guardians in relation to the gender and the clothing worn by the dentist [^4,7]. Other studies found a stronger preference for the white traditional coat [^6,8,9] or for colored coats [¹⁰]. It is important to note that characteristics such as the child's age group, gender, anxiety level, previous medical experience, among others, interfered in preferences [^3,6,8-14].

A recent systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis analyzed the preference of children in relation to the clothing used by the dentist [⁵]. The authors did not find any work in this sense done with Latin American or Brazilian children, demonstrating the need of research with children from different regions to assess whether preferences and behaviors are related to cultural aspects, both in relation to the preference for the clothing worn by the dentists and their gender.

Thus, the objective of this research was to access the preference of children and their parents to the type of professional coat and gender of the pediatric dentist and to evaluate if the preference is correlated to the children’s previous dental experience and anxiety level. The null hypothesis is that the children and their parents have no specific preference regarding the professional coat and gender and that the preferences are not correlated to the children’s previous dental experience and anxiety level.

Material and Methods

Study Design and Ethical Clearance

Before the beginning of the data collection of this cross sectional study, this research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, protocol #3.088.269/2018. All children and their parents were informed about the research and, when they agreed to participate in the study, respectively signed informed assent and consent forms.

Sampling

The inclusion criteria for participation in the study were: adults and children able to understand and communicate in Portuguese and children with physical status ASA I or II [¹⁵]. The exclusion criteria were: children cognitively deficient and unable to complete the research independently; children who are not accompanied by their legal parents. Questionnaires that had missing information were also excluded from the study.

As there were no similar studies carried out in Brazil, the sample size for this study was calculated based on estimates in order to detect a minimum difference of 1.123, and assuming a standard deviation of 8 on the Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) (0-75 range), with a power of 0.05 and 80% [¹²], resulting in a non-probabilistic sample of 400 pairs of children and parents.

Data Collection

Children and parents were interviewed separately in public spaces such as parish centers, squares and parks by L.A.S. The parent's questionnaire consisted of three sections, while the child's questionnaire involved only questions from Section 2.

Section 1: Demographic data and child's dental history. Demographic data included age andgender of the child and the parent. The child's dental history included questions about the first consultation (yes / no), dental procedures undergone (yes / no) and type of procedure undergone (prophylaxis and fluoride application; dental scaling; restorations; extractions and pulp treatments).

Section 2: Gender and clothing preference. A card with six photographs of male and female models dressed in three different outfits (white coat, dark blue coat and colored coat) was shown to the participants. In all the photographs, the facial expression, posture and hairstyle of the models were kept as similar as possible (Figure 1). Children and their parents were asked to independently choose how they would prefer the dentist to be. None of the individuals portrayed in the photographs were involved in the research or in possible dental assistance. The option for ''no preference'' was not available, ensuring that all participants would choose one of the photographs shown.

Section 3: Children’s Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS). Parents were asked to answer a list of 15 questions to determine their child's level of anxiety. The CFSS-DS comprises different domains that contribute to dental anxiety based on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (without fear) to 5 (very afraid) [¹⁶]. The scores were added to give the CFSS-DS score (range 15-75). To facilitate comparison with existing studies, the score of 38 was defined as the cutoff point for dental clinical fear [¹⁷], with a score of <38 denoting the absence of dental anxiety, and ≥38 indicating the presence of dental anxiety.

The pre-test of the questionnaire (pilot study) was conducted on 30 pairs of children and parents to ensure that the questions were adequate for the purpose, to test the ease of understanding, ambiguity and to evaluate the workflow of the data collection process. The results obtained were not included in the analysis of the data of the final study. The average time spent to fill the questionnaire was 10 minutes.

Data Analysis

The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows program (version 22.0, IBM Corp, Armonk, NY, USA) and a significance of p <0.05 was considered. The chi-square test was used to verify the difference in the distribution of preferences for choosing the gender of the dentist and the type of coat for the responses obtained from the children and their parents. The chi-square test was also used to verify significant associations between the variables studied.

Results

A non-probabilistic sample was obtained with 400 children and 400 parents in the study. There was a higher frequency of girls (n=215, 53.8%), as well as mothers (n=346, 86.5%). Regarding the children's age, the most frequent was 8 years old (16%) (Table 1).

There was a tendency for the child to choose the dentist with the same gender as theirs, therefore, boys chose more male dentists and girls more female dentists (p<0.001), however there was no difference between the choice of the dentist’s coat between boys and girls (p=0.53). There was no difference in the preference of the gender of the dentist or the color of the dentist’s coat between fathers and mothers (p=0.425 and p=0.549, respectively) (Table 4).

There was a significant concordance between the choice of the dentist's gender by the parent with the child's preference, that is, when a child preferred a female dentist, the parent who accompanied them had also chosen a female dentist (p<0.002). The same concordance was not observed in relation to the dentist’s type of coat (p=0.113) (Table 5).

Among the children included in the study, 315 (78.8%) were not anxious, while 85 (21.3%) were anxious. The children's level of anxiety did not influence the preference for a given gender of the dentist, nor did it influence the preference for the color of the dentist’s coat (p=0.966 and p=0.511, respectively). The procedures dental scaling, restoration, extraction and pulp treatment did not influence the children's level of anxiety (p=0.771; p=0.643; p=0.496 and p=0.747, respectively). Children with previous experience of prophylaxis and topical application of fluoride more frequently obtained the result of non-anxious ones, and children without such experience obtained the result of greater level of anxiety (p<0.001). The same pattern was observed for children who answered the option “others” among the types of treatment (p<0.008) (Table 7).

Discussion

This study found that children have specific preferences in relation to gender and the professional coat worn by the dentist, different from their parents and from the popular belief that children prefer dentists wearing colored coats. It was also observed the relationship between level of anxiety and the dental treatment that the child has already undergone, where children with previous experience in the dentist more often obtained the result of non-anxious, and children without such experience obtained the result of greater level of anxiety, thus, the null hypothesis was rejected.

The children in this study preferred female dentists, but there was a tendency for the child to choose the professional with the same gender as theirs, so boys chose more male dentists and girls more female dentists. This finding is similar to that of previous studies [^6-8,11,12,18] and different from the findings of Münevveroğlu et al. [¹⁰], in which most children preferred to be treated by a female dentist regardless of the child's gender. Thus, it is possible that dentists of the same gender as their pediatric patients have a tendency to have less resistance to assist them [⁶].

When the children were invited to choose between photos of dentists wearing different types of professional coats, they preferred the formal white coat, with a big difference from the other colors of coats, however there was no difference between the choice of the coat between boys and girls, printed/pediatric coat being the least favored. As observed in previous studies, involving children from different countries and cultures [^{3,4,6,8,13,14,18}], this study suggests that children feel more comfortable when they see the dentist with the white coat. Although some studies found different preferences by the children [^7,10-12].

Dental history was accessed to identify whether children's anxiety or preference is related to previous experiences. In this research, 88.3% of the children had already attended the dentist and this fact influenced the option for the gender of the dentist. Children who had already consulted preferred female dentists and children who had never visited an office preferred male dentists. A possible explanation for this difference is the fact that where the research was conducted, as well as throughout Brazil, the female dentists represent about 90% of the pediatric dentists [¹⁹]. Thus, it is plausible that most of the children who have already been consulted, have been consulted by female dentists and in this way the preference can be related to previous experience, especially if it was positive.

An anxiety scale was used to measure the level of anxiety of children facing different dental situations. It was observed that children were more afraid of anesthesia (44.8%), similar to the studies by Subramanian and Rajasekaran [⁷], 76%, and Münevveroğlu et al. [¹⁰], 60%, but with a lower percentage.

It is interesting to note in this study that children with previous experience of prophylaxis and fluoride application were less anxious than children who did not have this experience. This corroborates the hypothesis raised that suggested that children with previous experience probably had positive experiences, as found in previous studies [^8,10]. On the other hand, in the study by Tong et al. [¹²], children with a higher number of dental appointments tended to have greater anxiety. This shows that the pediatric patients’ anxiety, as well as their behavior, are influenced by multiple determinants like parenting style, parental socioeconomic status, oral health behaviours, and dental caries among others [²⁰].

As for the guardian's preference over the dentist's coat, it was observed that while the children preferred the formal white coat, the parents chose the colorful, pediatric coat. This finding is similar to the study by Ellore et al. [¹⁸], and differs from the finding in studies by Mistry and Tahmassebi [⁹] in which parents were significantly more likely to prefer formal attire and children the informal attire. The preference for the professional in white coat suggests an image of professionalism that would increase patient confidence [⁶]. In addition, children may have become accustomed to the conventional clothing that health professionals, such as pediatricians and family doctors wear [¹³]. The preference for traditional clothing may also be related to the pre-established image that children have about the figure of the dentist, or their previous experience.

There was a significant concordance between the choice of the dentist's gender by the guardian with the child's preference, similar to the study by Mistry and Tahmassebi [⁹].

No other study was found addressing the preference of children in relation to the gender and dentist coat conducted with Latin American or Brazilian children [⁵]. This study showed that children in this Brazilian subpopulation had similar preferences to children from other regions of the world such as Singapore [¹²], India [^3,6,7,18], Turkey [¹³] and Saudi Arabia [^4,8].

The main limitation of this study is the convenience of the sample, which was subject to selection bias, in which a discrepancy was observed between the representation of female parents compared to male. Thus, the staggering of the results, especially related to the parents' preference, must be done with caution.

Conclusion

The study identified that children have strong preferences in relation to the appearance of their dentists. Children and parents preferred female dentists, but there was a tendency to choose the professional with the same gender as theirs. The results also suggest that children would feel more comfortable with the formal white coat, different from the guardian who chose the pediatric coat. The children's level of anxiety did not influence the preference for a given gender of the dentist, nor did it influence the preference for the color of the coat.
