Brushing Teeth

Hello there I am sorry you are having a problem with Brushing or not Brushing your Teeth. What kind of Toothpaste have you been using to brush your Teeth with? I stopped using Colgate Sr or Gibbs, or whatever they call them years ago. The reason was these Toothpastes were making me want to be sick every time I used them. Then someone told me about a Toothpaste they used called Welleda  hope I have spelt it right. It is a natural toothpaste, with no nasty ingredients in it and it is peppermint free too . I do recomend you try it an see how you get on. I do am very nervous of the Dentist. There is information on the National Autistic site on line for Dentists to help them understand more about Autism, and how to treat Autistic patients who are Anxious and Nervous. You can print it off an let your Dentist read it so they can learn something about the Spectrum. I also recomend booking a double appointment with your Dentist so they have more time to speak to you an show you things and give explanations too. I do hope that this has been some help to yourself. Can you ask a family member or friend to go with you an come into the surgery as well? You could also brig some music with you to listen to if you are getting any treatment done or anything to distract you and help you feel less nervous. Do hope I have been a little help to you in some way, please let me know how you get on won't you? It is extremely important to look after our teeth we only get one set and we want to keep them for as long as we can do so.

Will be thinking of you and hope you manage to go ok. Helena

Hi Helena :) 

Thanks for the reply. I will look into that toothpaste you suggested. I need to sign up at a new dentist now so I think when I sign up, I will discuss with them how I get anxious about it. Hopefully they will be able to help a bit.
