[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 42838, member: 1991"] What about the zoo? They do dentistry on lions, bears, chimps and orangutans under general anaesthetic there. So if they can do it for animals, especially animals which they cherish and pander to, there should be someone somewhere who can do it for your son. What about dementia patients? Not al are old and toothless - and trying to do dental work on a panicky dementia patient has got to be a BIG problem. Seriously, why not contact a dementia support group, ask THEM how it's managed. Huntingdon's Association? A lot of people with active Huntingdon's are still young and need regular medical care, especially with dental work. The last thing a person with dementia needs, is a dental abscess. To put them through the ordeal of dental work is too traumatic, does too much damage to their ability to cope emotionally. Maybe they know of a technique or a practitioner who can help your son. OK, your son doesn't have dementia, but similarly he can't cope with the trauma of various procedures without anaesthesia or at the least, heavy sedation. Medazalam, anyone? Marg [/QUOTE]
