They are also with complete behavior record during 2 stage TSD procedure, including 4 sections: (1) show three way & low speed with brush under parents' hug, (2)leave parents & go on to dental chair, (3)dental chair lay down, (4) show three way & low speed with brush when child lay down & fluoride application. The child with cooperative behavior during any of each section gets 1 point, ie, gets 4 points if the child cooperate all through 4 sections.
