When we prep our light for the oral exam #kids will not allow a peep inside their piehole. Typical #Pediatrics!
Is this #tomophobia, fear of medical procedures?
#Odontophobia, fear of dental exams, Or #scopophobia, fear of being stared at?
Humor/distraction or punting to next time may work best.

What IS that phenomenon called when kids get freaked out and will not allow a peep inside their pie hole?
Is this #tomophobia, fear of medical procedures?
Or #scopophobia, fear of being stared at?
May be both...but we in #pediatrics see it a lot
Playful distraction helps. #pedsky #graphicmedicine
