Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi all, have you tired a behavioural approach to sessions at the dentist's? Our son has monthly check ups and can open his mouth for about 30 seconds at a time if he needed treatment we would work on ncreasing this. As for any behavioural stuff you need good reinforcers and a dentist who has the patience to take it one step at a time. Our dentist is an nhs community dentist. Let me know what you think. Just so you know Noah is eight years old and non verbal.Sent from my iPad Darla, this sounds good, can you email me their details off list so i can have a talk with them please.. nikki-mills @ hotmail.co.uk (without spaces) thanks x > > > > > > > > > > > > > > If they are the very very back teeth, count from front down one > > > side > > > > > > > (number 3 is eye tooth), if they are number 7 or 8 I'd have them > > > extraced > > > > > > > instead, if its number 6 best to try and keep it, SN dentists > > are > > > not skilled > > > > > > > enough in general neither have the experience to properly place > > > white fillings, > > > > > > > Stainless steel crown would be better way to go, making sure > > they > > > put no > > > > > > > amalgam underneath and that they understand why coz once its on > > > you can't > > > > > > > see through it on xray > > > > > > > Mx > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > In a message dated 21/03/2012 11:56:40 GMT Standard Time, > > > > > > > nikki-mills@ writes: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi all, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > my son (16) needs 2 fillings in his back teeth, he requires a GA > > > to have > > > > > > > this done. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I don't know how bad the decay is, but i do know that if the > > > fillings > > > > > > > needed are going to be deep ones the SN dentists wont want to do > > a > > > white > > > > > > > filling.
