Working with children in the role of a pediatric dentist necessitates a certain temperament — you just have to love kids and be incredibly patient. Being a good dentist is important (of course), but technical skills would only be useful if you can get a child to open their mouth. And that’s perhaps one of the biggest challenges — gaining a child patient’s trust. At least that’s what Dr. Jameela Haq, the pediatric dentist at KU64, says about her work.

Our team at Zircon Medical recently hosted Dr. Haq on our podcast series to discuss, among other things, how to make a child-friendly space or environment within a dental clinic.
