You either offer it to all and take the risk, or don't do it at all. The most you could get away with is to not offer it to those say under 16 but children are the most likely to benefit (and also the most likely to abuse it). The truth is that someone like me would not abuse it but I would be nervous of pressing it by accident. A child on the other hand may see it as a toy. Given that most dental phobias start in childhood you have a dilemma there...
We use it with children during their cleanings and they love it, no misuse. We demonstrate how to use it before starting and then they just hold onto it. The Dental Button is the same button used in hospitals to call the nurse, a firm press, and has been used for over twenty years without a design change.
I like the button because all patients can use it at no extra charge, bringing dentistry to all people and improving their experience while at the dentist is what it is all about.
