Hi, My son is autistic. He was diagnosed when he was 3 years old. Now he is 9. We were residing in Aurora. We migrated to Alberta last month. He has a rational fear towards dental appointments. He has extreme sensory and oral motor integration issues. Visiting a new physician is a frightful thing for him. All of the tools and noises stresses him and makes it difficult to work on. Every physician we consulted has always sedated him before every procedure. His dental health is in poor condition. His previous dentist http://www.skyviewdental.ca/meet-our-team/our-team/. He treats him well and we are satisfied by his service. My son suffers from gingival overgrowth and severe periodontal disease. My friend told me that autistic children need special care and it would be much better if I consult a pediatric dentist. My son is kind of used to his previous dentist. He knows and understands his fears. I don’t know how I am going to convince him about his new dentist. Kindly share your views regarding this. Thank you.

I’m a single mom. I live with my 9 year old son. It’s pretty difficult to manage children. God knows how I’m dealing with one now. I love my son, and only that matters.
