[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son w asd had to have a few teeth removed lately. I bribed him ahead of time with a new video game to get him to the dr. He did freak out when the needle went in his arm but it knocked him out within 30 seconds so it was short.[/quote]

PP again. With the teeth removal we also tried to go the numbing gel route and that didnt work. We had to go to an oral surgeon.

I make sure to tell all medical professionals in situations that he is on the autism spectrum which means that he sometimes communicates differently and expresses his emotions differently than they might expect from kids his age. That seems to help from the beginning with level-setting. That way they kind of know to get in and out quickly and arent shocked by an unexpected freak out.[/quote]

We’ve been seeing the same ped dentist since he was 3 or 4.  Around 6, he had a lot of cavities.  The dentist referred us to the oral surgeon and my son had them all filled at once under general.  The current situation is one cavity.  The dentist did not suggest the oral surgeon this time.  He just said try again in 3 mo.[/quote]
