[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 470748, member: 6546"] Hershey-- First choice: Pediatric Dentist qualified to help special needs kids If one is not available - find a dentist that is good with kids. Check the office. Some dentists have colorful offices and "prize machines" plus a great, friendly staff. That's the second choice. If neither of those options are available - build youself a kit to take to the dentist. Put in the kit headphones and music (Mp3 player or what-have-you). The headphones should be large and comfy. Let your child control the volume. Put in the kit a "stuffie" of some kind to hug. Put in the kit a heavy blanket. Let the child feel "tucked in" in the dentist chair. Definitely allow laughing gas for the exam. And have a prize to give to your child at the end. (And if you are going to do the kit - let the dentist know before hand so there is no "Hey! We don't allow that!"....and if they don't? Find one that does... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
