In the Boy's case if he fought there is a large possibility that they could break his neck or jaw so general anesthesia is the best option. He is also allergic to Versed so....SECRET PEPPER PERSON:https://www.blogger.com/profile/06434583043459305729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367051921026110661.post-48355865487812089072010-12-31T05:57:14.322-08:002010-12-31T05:57:14.322-08:00He is a handsome young man.

We go to a dental clinic at the University Hospital because no other dentists seem to take handicapped adults. We had a very good pediatric dentist who saw special needs kids. <br /><br />The dentist said we could try conscious sedation to have Katie's teeth cleaned, instead of a general anesthetic which usually makes her vomit for two or three days. <br /><br />It took 8mg of midazolam to get her to lay still for the cleaning. The most I ever give at work is 2mg! The dentist looked positively rattled when we returned to pick Katie up and said that she should go back to general anesthetics for dental work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367051921026110661.post-17111517435939335722010-12-31T05:26:58.843-08:002010-12-31T05:26:58.843-08:00Elizabeth: it is somewhat of a nightmare as specia...Elizabeth: it is somewhat of a nightmare as special needs children really need to be admitted to have all of the dental work done at once and very few pediatric dentists have hospital privileges. In the county I live in with a population of 910,260 only one dentist can admit to the children's hospital but he no longer takes Medicaid which a majority of complex children have. That's why we travel to another city. The Waiver program recently dropped dental care of any kind for special needs adults as well. There is no way a family of a medically complex adult can afford anesthesia, crowns, caps, cleaning, etc out of pocket.SECRET PEPPER PERSON:https://www.blogger.com/profile/06434583043459305729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367051921026110661.post-91061917786565897672010-12-31T04:34:52.963-08:002010-12-31T04:34:52.963-08:00So glad it went well and that they listened to you...So glad it went well and that they listened to you.

I learned recently in my leadership seminar (that I've since withdrawn from!) a bit about dentistry and special needs children -- how no one will do it, how difficult it is, etc. etc. Your son has gorgeous eyes, by the way --Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.com
