Dental treatment for autistic children

Darryl

Hi.

Are there any places (dentist) who specialise in autism. 

My son is three and non verbal and needs dental treatment. 

My regular dentist was useless and seemed to have no patience when she couldn't get him to sit still.

Asked her for advice on where I could take him and was told to try the internet (moron).

Cant believe how little information is out there for this situation.

Would appreciate any suggestions or advice,  surely others have the same problem. 

Thank you

  • Hey,

    I am not sure where you are based in the UK, but there is an orthodontist in Leamington Spa, they are familiar with patients who are autistic. I went there to get my braces fitted etc, they are very understanding and take the time to explain everything. If this is not an option, unfortunately, as bad as unprofessional as it was for your dentist to suggest the internet, this is probably one of the best ideas as you can read up on reviews etc, Hope this helps. :)
