It is no less valid today. A cheeky 4-5 yr old boy with a mop of red hair had a number of carious teeth to restore. He was full of beans and not overly keen on cooperating. We introduced him to RA using a simple "tell,show,do" approach. First the nasal hood (without being attached to the tubing) to play with and try out.
Then checking it out on his nose " to make sure he could breathe through it" Then attaching the tubing and providing a few minutes trial run, with no treatment- indeed making sure that he DIDN'T open his mouth. This was very effective and well accepted and he returned for 2 or 3 visits to complete the required work.
At the end of the last session and having had his 2+ minutes on 100% O2, he sat up and uttered the priceless words.
A great success and words I have recalled and re-told regularly since then. If you would enjoy your day's work more with reactions like that, perhaps it is time you considered introducing RA into your repetoire.
