Emily,<\/p>\n

With the increase in autism, some dentists are educating themselves on how to help children in this situation. \u00a0There are pediatric dentists<\/a> who are comfortable and experienced treating autistic children.<\/p>\n

Here are some ideas to help his appointment go smoother. Arrange for him to come in and meet the dentist and staff. \u00a0With his sensory issues, that I assume are a part of his difficulties, \u00a0you’ll want to help him with sitting in the chair and getting comfortable with the equipment before they have to be used on him.<\/p>\n

You may also consider sedation dentistry, which will relax him and make it easier for the dentist. Depending on what type of sedation you use, he may not \u00a0even remember the appointment.<\/p>\n
