Dentist

We are in the process of getting evaluated and starting Speech and Occupational Therapy soon. So we are very new at this.




My question is... My son just turned 5 yrs. old. We will visiting the dentist. Last time, it was nightmare. Well, we have an appt. coming up before the therapy. I have been trying to prepare him for this visit.

Is there anything I can do so he can get a routine cleaning.

I would appreciate some feedback.

Thank you

Yes, in fact there are things you can do to help him! I wrote an article specifically about this. Here is the link... Oral Defensiveness: Making Dentist Visits More Tolerable.

I am very glad you will be starting therapy soon... that will also help!! Meanwhile, try the suggested strategies in the article mentioned above.
