My 3year old boy hates getting his teeth brushed. I’m trying to figure out what toothpastes he might like best
I saw this but didn’t know whether to get it. I will give it a go ☺️ Thank you.
I'm in North highlands Ca & I so desperately need a dentist for my 3yr old Sophia. It's very very hard to get into her mouth for a good brushing & this has caused a cavity is there any dentists that know how to work with autistic children without holding her down I refuse to put her thru that but she needs to be seen ASAP Thanks in advance
Google “ autistic toothbrushes “ we use one for my son it’s a 3 sided flat toothbrush. You will love it :-)
Good morning
My son Diego is 5 and diagnosed with autism. Due to his sensory sensitivity (around his ears and neck) we have a hard time getting him to get a haircut. His last one was in November and very traumatic for him. I have goggled barbershop/salons that are good with autistic kids and have had no luck so far. We took him last summer to snip it’s (Peabody, MA) and it also didn’t go well. The lady wasn’t listening to us and didn’t know how to deal with kids with special needs. I was… read more
Heyyy
Haircuts have always been a challenge for my son as well. Recently, I realized that one of the reasons he feels uncomfortable during haircuts is because of the smock that covers his arms. It… read more
Great... we got my son a spin brush now... still doesn't want to but he will most mornings.
He is 2 years old, non-verbal, and doesnt chew his food. He will and can only eat pureed fruits or veggies. Does anyone know a way i can get him to chew?
Or to maybe introduce him to new foods to try. Any advice...Anyone?
Thats so great.. the power of other peers lol.. i hope he will start eating and having more varieties too.. Thank you for your comment.
Michael is 3 and it's a battle to get his teeth brushed. I'm sure I'm not doing a good enough job. He forces the brush out repeatedly and clamps his teeth down on it other times. It got better with an electric toothbrush, but still not great or easy. His Dr. recently recommended going back to a finger toothbrush. I got chewed on so badly I felt like I'd been attacked. Needless to say, I'm not going back in there like that again! Any suggestions would be appreciated!
electric toothbrush that plays music/ did Justin bieber for a grandchild// sugarfree gum can help get junk out of the back teeth, where they're less apt to put toothbrush
How can I get my 5yo autistic son to brush his teeth? He's completely non verbal, and he just bites the toothbrush, if I can even get it in his mouth. I've tried vibrating toothbrushes, the tooth brush song, and brushing mine at the same time, but he just won't let me. He will chew on the toothbrush when he has it himself, but only if it seems like no one is watching, and then he scrubs the floor with it. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Finger toothbrush.......you may get bitten a few times but worth a try!!
My son is four years old and for the past few months he has been spitting on my mirror, on my coffee table, on Windows, floors. every where u can think of. Please any ideas how to stop him?
my 2 year old son does the same thing- most of the time it's because he is tired. I give him a drink with a straw or a snack... he needs oral stimulation.
I have just started to use essential oils for my son. I was wondering how often a day can they be used? Is there a limit to how many times a day they can be used?
I'm professionally trained and so have a professional outlook on this question. It depends on the type of oil in a BIG way. There are many ways to use essential oils from diffusing in the air with a… read more
