[QUOTE="Momslittleangels, post: 190722, member: 905"] I could have written this post myself - - - seriously...... When difficult child was the same age, her teeth were horrible and she needed significant dental work to fix the cavities, etc. The dentist she regularly saw absolutely REFUSED to see her anymore, because of the fits she would throw. So when the time came, we found a dentist in the San Fernando Valley, which was a 1 1/2 hour drive from my home during rush hour traffic and he was the only person in the area that would use sedatives, etc for routine dental work. Soooooo - - we have a consultation with the dentist, and I explain about all of her BiPolar (BP) medications and her attitude issues and her fears, etc. He is so sure he has a great combination of sedatives that won't have a bad reaction to her other medications that we agree to get this work done. So, the first thing I was to do was give her a Xanax type pill before we go....fine. That worked. So then we arrive at the office and she lethargically gets into the dentist chair....fine. That worked. THEN.....just as soon as I relax in the waiting room....it all falls apart. The nurse comes out and says that she is "upset" - - uh huh, seen that before. They said they were going to give her another drug to calm her more - - - which doesn't work. Finally, the doctor makes the HUGE mistake of trying to take her headsets for the CD player off her heat and she HITS the guy. DONE - NEXT......the doctor tells me he won't work on her and to reschedule. So my daughter starts freaking out because she could see how upset and embarrassed I was. It took two nurses and myself to help carry her to our car. So - - - - back into traffic we go for the 1 1/2 hour ride home. I figured she would sleep all of the way home, but instead, she started flipping out in the car and kept trying to open the door and get out. I kept locking the door and she would unlock it. It was so frightening to have this going on while driving. Then we get home, and I told her to go lay down and let all of the medication wear off, but she started getting irate and wandered around our pool, falling down and almost cracked open her head. It was horrible and the work never got done. She already has a bridge on her upper front teeth, because we had to pull them out... I hope you don't mind me sharing my story too, but as I was reading yours, I could FEEL your embarrassment and frustration. If you need any recommendations of dentists in the So. CA area, please PM me, and I would be happy to share some dentists we have used. [/QUOTE]
