I'm looking for a dentist that takes Tricare for insurance (in the Silverdale/Bremerton, WA area) & deals with sedation. My son will not let a dentist near his mouth, or sit still. He barely sits still long enough for me to brush his teeth. I need to get a pre-authorization, so I need to find the dentist & get all the info first.

I would call Tricare and ask them who is in your network and specifically for kids with special needs who need extensive dental work. There are special needs dentist's out there but you will have to do your own homework in contacting them and the insurance companies. Try googling special needs dentists in Silverdale WA.

Thanks...I'm trying to avoid going to Seattle or Tacoma. I guess I just need to get on the net & start making phone calls to those on the provider list. I hate making phone calls, but now that my voice is back....I guess I should.

Hey, I know it is a bit far but the Center for Pediatric Dentistry in Seattle specializes in working with special needs kids.
