Hate the dentist. Best thing is to get it over with. Ask the dentist to explain what he is doing before he does it, and tell him you have AS/ are nervous about dentists.

we're trying to get my 6 year old to go as his adult teeth are starting to come through and theyre all very crooked and crowded. I keep making him appointments for when I go but whilst, after several visits, he now actually sits in the chair and opens his mouth there is no way he will let her put her fingers in or the mirror so nothing gets done as it stresses him out. We're now in the process of getting this family dentist to help us with a referral to a specialist dentist who deals with "special needs" children which his speech therapist suggested. She also wants us to try some de-sensitising techniques which involves stroking/massage of his face and jaw area. Anyone else heard of this?
