Hello my name is Simon I have been diagnosed with autism recently and I am thinking about going to the dentist soon but I have a ginormous fear of the dentist I haven’t been since I was at school I have a bad tooth it’s got a big cavity and it’s black inside it doesn’t hurt and I brush my teeth 2 times a day and use mouthwash but I know I can’t put it of forever.
does anyone have any advice should I mention that I’m autistic would that help?
Yeah I’ve made a promise to myself in the next 6 months I will go to the dentist.
in my area it is now very hard to get to a dentist appointmtnt because of the covid-19 causing issues. Sure mention you are very afraid and anxious because u have autism. Each dentist is different from the next so its hard to predict how they will handle you.
