[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, I hear you, OP. My 4-year-old son has a lot of issues that makes dental hygiene a challenge, and trips to the dentist are horrible. He screams and flails, and the dentist always makes me feel like a terrible parent and critiques everything I do. “Stop giving him PediaSure because it will rot his teeth.” (Well, his pediatrician thinks it’s medically necessary.) “He needs to stop using a sippy cup because it will mess up his bite.” (It’s the only cup he will take.) “You need to do a better job of brushing his teeth and start flossing.” (Tell me how to do that without losing a finger.) This last time I just told them that I was doing the best I could and that I would appreciate brainstorming solutions rather than criticism. The best they could come up with was more frequent cleanings. It’s definitely frustrating because this place advertises as good with kids and good with special needs, but I don’t think they are great with either. So does anyone out there have a dentist they recommend?[/quote]
