[quote=Anonymous]Thank you. Unfortunately, a previous dentist did the papoose technique on my child at a previoius appointment. My mistake for not doing the proper research but it was presented to me as a sensory blanket. When my child went back for the 6 month follow up we had to stop the apt midway through bc the shrieking was so horrible. We tried a new dentist yesterday and the anxiety/hard core bone chilling fear he displayed over just the hygenist coming toward him with a tooth brush -- i was holding him on my lap but the way he was tugging his head, etc etc. And this is a child who has had multiple ivs/blood draws/hospitalizations. The dentist was baffled how a kid this anxious could withstand and iv, but this was much worse. i think a valium rx before next apt is a good idea. i hope and pray he isn't too traumatized longterm from his papoose experience.[/quote]
