[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't do that.  This went out in the 70s.  It is brutal and sadistic.

Please go to a special needs dentist.  I don't know if you are in Maryland, but Ensor Lewis Johnson is certified in special needs dentistry.  Please talk to them.

I second the recommendation for EJL - Dr. Lewis is incredibly kind and patient. My son has had several dental exams in my lap. [/quote]

Hopefully the office has changed but we had a miserable appointment a few years ago.  She was very nice but the office setting was terrible.  They placed us in a large open room with tons of patients.  An special needs teenager (very special needs but verbal) was listening to Dr. ask me very private and personal (all appropriate) questions about my child's background.  She would bounce between patients several times and every time she left, the woman next to us, well-meaning asked us a ton of questions.  Also, we had to pay full price when all she did was look and tell us everything was ok.  She didn't even clean with a toothbrush.   The office is very loud and chaotic because of the set up and lack of private rooms.  (They have moved since then so maybe the new set up is better).  Not having any privacy for a special needs child with a complex history is concerning to me.[/quote]

New poster -- this does not sound at all like Dr. Lewis.  Did you specify that you have a special needs child?  We were placed in a room by ourselves and saw Dr. Lewis along with two dental assistants.  Everything was confidential.[/quote]
