SOME ASPECTS RELATED TO DENTIST-PEDIATRIC PATIENTS COMMUNICATION
Abstract:
This paper addresses the problem of dentist – patient (especially pediatric patients)
communication, examining issues of linguistic nature that may influence this type of interaction (the
means whereby language is determined by membership to a certain social group or by the age and sex of
participants in the communication process). Reference will be made to differences in the way of
expressing ideas, the frequency of interventions during consultations; it will seek explanations for the
fact that doctors and patients often encounter barriers in the communication process.
