[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just re-read your OP.   The environment you describe would not be one DS and I could deal with (bad family teeth so go to dentist more often).    Where are you located? [/quote]

We are in western Alexandria so looking for something there or nearby - Fall Church, Annandale, Fairfax, etc.[/quote]

We go to Alexandria Childrens Dentistry and have not found that to be the case. My autistic child needs a little extra hand holding and usually they accommodate (one time one hygienist pushed back on two parents for two kids and I made a big deal about it because we have over communicated that one kid needs extra support—they capitulated and the dentist was very apologetic). [/quote]

This is actually not the case.  While they will occasionally allow a parent to be present for a regular cleaning, they have a strict policy banning parent's from the private treatment rooms for things like fillings or sealants.  They allow a parent to walk their child back but insist parents must leave before the procedure begins.
