This extends to every part of the treatment, from the dental care to the social approaches and the tools used. Effective treatment is individual, and while an approach might work well on one patient, it might not work on another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people that I treat are not always able to say what they like and what they don\u2019t like. Sometimes their way of saying no to something that annoys them is to push it away. And the<strong> inmu<\/strong> has also once in a while been kicked or thrown on the floor when I\u2019ve used it.

This makes them easily stressed by the daily noises in a dental clinic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt can be something as small as the noise of the suction or someone talking outside in the hallway. I lay the <strong>inmu<\/strong> on their chest, and make them put their hand inside the <strong>inmu<\/strong>\u2019s pocket. It makes them feel like they are holding someone\u2019s hand, and it calms them down enough for me to be able to complete the treatment,\u201d Mariane says.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.11.2&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Dementia<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cOne of my patients is a woman with dementia. Sometimes she can be very restless and agitated. She can be difficult to treat if you catch her in the wrong mood. I don\u2019t know if it was because of the<strong> inmu<\/strong>, or just because we caught her on a good day, but I gave the<strong> inmu<\/strong> to her, and I managed to finish her treatment without any problems,\u201d Mariane says.<\/p>\n<p>People with dementia are often harder to treat, because they are less able to understand unfamiliar situations. They easily become confused and stressed during treatment, and can sometimes become agitated or violent. This is one of the reasons why many people with dementia do not receive the dental care they need.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
