[quote=Anonymous]DS who has ASD and ADHD has tons of issues when it comes to medical treatment.  He's so anxious and concrete that even though he's almost 7 I have to literally hold him down with several other people for shots or other routine things.  We've spent hours in doctors offices negotiating, bribing, etc. to no avail.  We try to set it up in a positive way up front and use every technique we have but in the end we generally just have to force him to do something.  Dental treatment is terrible and thankfully our very patient dentist got an x-ray (after 90 minutes of patient waiting) that showed extensive decay.  We brush and use fluoride rinse at home and he's not big into sweets but of course it's hard to get a good brushing because he won't let us help.  He wouldn't let the dentist near him to do a cleaning so we had to bring him somewhere to be sedated.  They found even more decay and he needs treatment on basically half of his teeth!  I am so upset and it's taken awhile to get in because they had to schedule an anesthesiologist so I know the poor kiddo has been suffering.  Please please DCUM tell me that I'm not the worst mom ever and if anyone else has gone through this, how do you help your kids keep their teeth healthy?  I know it's my job as a parent and I want to do better.[/quote]
