Dental Issues

This is an embarrassing one tbh so helpful comments only please. I'm autistic and as a child (and teen tbh) I really, really struggled with sensory issues when it came to dental care. I was only diagnosed recently and as much as I accept it, I also want to work on making steps to improve some of the damages it's causes. So I'm hoping I might find people on here who have had the same or similar struggles so I don't feel quite as weird, and also if there any any dentists in the Manchester region who people recommend as having an understanding of this situation who I can go to without feeling judgement. Thank you all so much in advance

  • There are some good dentists out there, you just have to find the right one.

    Through sheer luck, my current dentist is great. She knows I’m autistic and keeps checking that I’m okay - she’s very thoughtful. (It’s a shame their receptionist is less helpful!)

  • That's good to hear! What is your one called?

  • They’re in Glasgow I’m afraid, so not very convenient for you!

  • Ah! no worries thanks anyway
