    Papoose boards for the uniniated, are boards used to strap children down for dental work. It is preferred rather then sedatives or the parent holding the child down.

    Bijou, if you have a decent picture off the net, why don't you have one made to your specifications.

    Most dentists on the north american continent won't use these boards because the parent doesn't like seeing their child tied down.

    The idea of customising one seems to be good.. do you know of any dealer or manufacturer who could do this for me or rather provide me with a papoose strap in india or mumbai to be specific..

    Bijou, no can't let you know of a dealer or manufacturer. My suggestion of getting a picture of one and having someone make it for you was because I couldn't tell you a manufacturer. I imagine the papoose strap would be velcro.

    If we knew the answer to that you wouldn't have to get have built for you. It seems to me to be a very simple design.

    I definitely have to agree on this! I've heard of these but don't personally know of any dentists that use them. As tick said, most parents don't like the idea of seeing their child strapped down (I know I wouldn't allow it).
