Hi ,

We use a dentist that uses the new sand blasting techniques to

fill a cavity, so there is no drilling. I have never had my ASD

son there, he's a wild man, but my husband takes my super sensory

older son and he does great. I don't even think they numb anything,

so if he can sit thru the cleaning and flossing, he should be able to sit thru

the sand blasting and the filling. We see Dr Crowl

in Illinois. If you can't find one in your area,

you might want to call this guys office and see if they know

someone in your area who uses this technique!! Requires new equipment, so

there's probably only a few.

We have to go see a pediatric specialist who will probably recommend sedating

him in a hospital for the procedure, plus xrays, a good cleaning, and they will

want to treat him with flouride. Stop the press!! I keep reading how toxic

flouride is. We even stopped using a flouride toothpaste, and 6 months later he

gets his first cavity. (insert another obscenity here).

though the risk is low, nitrous is just out of the question. I'm terrified of

the general anesthesia for him, but what other option would we have? And FYI, he

allows great brushing, he allowed them to clean AND floss him in the office, and

allowed a descent exam. I do not think he would be able to cooperate with a

drill and filling unless sedated.

appreciate any advice!! Thanks! R

Can you search for a Huggins trained dentist in your area? You can use biocomp labs to run bloodwork to determine a compatible filling. So far as the procedure itself, do you think you can do enough social stories and bring him to a dentist appt for yourself to show him what a visit entails, sounds, sights, smells? Have him practice holding his mouth open for a few mins at a time??

My 3 yr old Aspie (dx'd at age 5) at the time was fine for a cleaning and xray, and even fine to hold still for the dentist... but the dentist was antsy about working on her and she would not hold still perfectly for the filling... (and he was not used to working on kids, he is a family practice dentist, not pediatric) Now, when we went to the ped dentist, they were pressing for sedation (they call it the Kiddie Cocktail, usually not covered by insurance) and I said no... so they tried to do fast and furious fillings, rather than taking their time and explaining it (my girl would have completely been fine if they had not been so rushed and obnoxious) so it was traumatic and then the dentist decided without my consent that since she was too wiggly, she was getting amalgam (the amalgam was on the tool, IN her mouth, he was placing it ON her tooth and saying to me " oh she's wiggling too much we are doing silver. "

We are getting her fillings replaced in the next couple weeks; need to get the bloodwork done. The one is falling out. I feel like billing that ped dentist my fees for all the extras he is causing here.Grrr. b/w is gonna be about 300, and each filling about 250.

Also see if you can bring a video for your child to watch while being worked on.

We had similar experience to Toni's that they went waaaaay too fast and it was

traumatic for all parties involved. I have found a new dentist, but we haven't

been yet. I interviewed them regarding filling cavities. They don't use

nitrous or put them under, but they do offer a sedative (can't remember the

name, but something like valium). It seems like a better option, but I really

don't know. Thoughts?

OK! I'll look into that too. Not sure what to ask for but I have some time to

research. Bought a spin brush today for better brushing....though that was not

our problem, he lets me brush really well. this stinks.

Has anyone else heard of this sandblasting technique? My son

just goes to our regular dentist, and there's nothing invasive to getting his

cavity filled. I just asked him, and he said it didn't

hurt in any way shape or form, and as far as he could remember

there isn't even a loud noise. No shot(numbing) and no drilling.

He's one of those " Tele monster " (Sesame Street) kind of kids who worries about

everything and NEVER forgets anything that hurt

or " was mean " to him. I know he would never go to the dentist

again if there was any pain or he was afraid. It requires new equipment so I

don't know how many dentists do it, but for kids-

it's well worth trying to find one.

i actually stopped my son's tooth decay using this book. I highly recommend it.

Your teeth can heal. I never knew this. My son had 5 cavities and pain. I was

FREAKED out. We had no sugar at the time so I didn't understand what I know now

about digestive dysbiosis.

We have to go see a pediatric specialist who will probably recommend sedating

him in a hospital for the procedure, plus xrays, a good cleaning, and they will

want to treat him with flouride. Stop the press!! I keep reading how toxic

flouride is. We even stopped using a flouride toothpaste, and 6 months later he

> My guy also has a heterozygous MTHFR mutation, I think it's the C677. So even

though the risk is low, nitrous is just out of the question. I'm terrified of

the general anesthesia for him, but what other option would we have? And FYI, he

allows great brushing, he allowed them to clean AND floss him in the office, and

allowed a descent exam. I do not think he would be able to cooperate with a

drill and filling unless sedated.

do the flouride varnish, but I'm not sure I'll be able to convince the

specialist. I'm sure I'm not the first one here dealing with cavities. I'd

appreciate any advice!! Thanks! R
