Mohali, March 15

Prof Dr Deepti Jawa highlighted the effectiveness of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) in managing dental anxiety at a continuing dental education programme held at Rayat Bahra Dental College in Mohali.

During the event, Dr Jawa emphasised the importance of adopting EFT as a means to relieve anxiety, bringing attention to its potential to revolutionise anxiety management in dental settings.

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Jawa said various techniques can be employed such as magnetic finger induction which evokes no noxious stimuli and that in turn reduces the receptors of pain.

She added another technique that may be employed while dealing with patients is a sensory-adapted dental environment (SADE) for special children.

Dr Jawa said these techniques require skills that can transform a fearful and anxious child into a happy and satisfying patient.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
