We took him to a pediatric dentist a couple of times, and finally said "forget this" as the dental assistant forced his mouth open to put the fluoride on, all the while TJ is screaming bloody murder. I think we may have taken him for his first visit before we found out about the autism, but still! What kind of dentist forcefully holds a child down like that and expects them to want to include routine checkups once they are out on their own?(You know how kiddos on the spectrum can be with sensory issues. If they can avoid it, they will!). <BR/><BR/>My dental assistant is great, so I started taking him there. We are still, 4 years later, trying to get past the fear of being held down like that at the dentist. Last time he allowed her to clean every tooth, but it took a lot of coaxing!<BR/><BR/>CR has his first appointment next week, with my dental hygenist, not the supposed kid friendly pediatric dentist! I'm anxious to see how that goes.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, glad it went well for Dillon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9932778.post-69014935519625161252007-05-30T12:41:00.000-05:002007-05-30T12:41:00.000-05:00I'm hating the dentist.

Lovely.<BR/><BR/>Glad yours wasn't that bad!!!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342377055845994067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9932778.post-67383577247970448882007-05-29T16:53:00.000-05:002007-05-29T16:53:00.000-05:00Ha!

It probably helps that they tell her 50 times that she's pretty. *snort*<BR/><BR/>Hope he enjoyed his sucker after the big boy haircut! His mama would've waited a couple of days so she could lick her clean teeth obsessively.Jennboreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920449345093917410noreply@blogger.com
