Dental Issues

James

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

  • I let mine get pretty bad but have been sorting it over the past few years, had a few teeth removed. For whatever reason I didn’t consider my teeth a priority and left it and left it but now I am older I realise that was a mistake. It’s one of a few areas of health that I neglected and I used to feel quite guilty about it. There is always a fear of judgement for sure but I haven’t had any negative experiences when they look into my mouth, they are always professional and look for the problems to solve not judge you by.
