We watched a lot you tubes & read social stories! We also took pictures of the dentist & rooms

When I first took my son to the dentist he refused to open his mouth unless it was to scream at the dentist and push him away!!! This lasted about 5 minutes, then the dentist allowed me to sit on the chair with him and play games, the best thing that worked was when I sat him facing me and we opened our mouths and pulled funny faces at each other which allowed the dentist to see his teeth ;) good luck xxxx

Oh go to it, its maybe gonna be a tough one but to acomplish it is good. My son was just 3, he has white coat phobia. We do a kind restraint to see in his mouth ( my son is non verbal and non gestural so he affirms nothing and crying is all he can do to express himself)...she gets to see the bare minimum but can confirm baby teeth all in, no cracked teeth etc. Our son will have to try brushing more even though he hates it because a child like him will have to go under to have any procedures. Brushing is so important but its a fight with him. We need to improve this. X

All my dentist wanted to do was to look at Reeses teeth to make sure he had no issues. I'm just glad he hasn't found any so far :) not sure how he will react if the dentist has to actually do any work. Another thing that seemed to help Reese was it be could watch the dentist do what he wanted to do on mummy before he tried it on Reese :)

I woukd recommend a social story.
