Dentistry

Silver100

With my friend's preparation and an excellent optician I can manage an eye examination but I cannot manage a dental examination or treatment.  I wondered how other ASDs get on with going to the dentist.

  • Terrified and major phobia, until a few years ago when I found a dentist who took his time, pottered about and put me at ease. He has sadly now retired and I am not sure to this day how much of the pottering about and chatting was him being a bit old and absent-minded and how much of it was carefully calculated to put you at ease ....

    I'd say it all comes down to finding someone who can understand your fears and is willing to put in the time to work with you. I hope you can find someone nice in your area :-)
