I’m 72 years old and have SPD (sensory processing disorder) dentist are and always and have been a huge struggle for me. Between the bright lights, high pitched sounds & smells it’s challenging!
My Autistic son used to go to a pediatric dentist that had tvs on the ceiling above every dental chair linked to dvd/bluray players and all kids got to pick movies each visit and he offered several types of anesthesia, gases or freezing. My now grown son misses that.
My daughter was 10 and was fine going to the dentist. She always did well until we had to change her dentist due to our insurance and the new dentist didn't allow anyone to go back with her. Hesitant I allowed it cause they said it was policy and kids did better without a parent there. On her 2nd visit they pulled a tooth with her crying hard and the dentist actually told her stop being a big baby and with a harsh tone. She was terrified after when she was telling me what happened. When I asked about it I was told he told her to stop crying she wasn't a baby meaning she was 10 a big girl. She is now terrified of going to the dentist. One bad experience can ruin it for a child. So picking a dentist is so very important. All the info was super helpful so thanks for sharing. Your family is so special and I love all your videos and watching Abbie grow and learn new things. ❤❤❤
I love how she snapped her head up like, wait. What? When you said dentist! Lol! I love Abby's expressions! Btw, I'm EXTREMELY jealous that she got to play with a giant Lite Brite. That was one of my favorite toys as a kid.
I'd suggest looking at dental schools if you have any near you too. I'm in NC & East Carolina University (ECU) has a dental school (that will take insurance & Medicaid) & does sedation dentistry on EC individuals & other's that suffer from Alzheimer and dementia and different sorts like that. ECU also owns our hospital now, too. Which, of course, is where the dental school does the sedation part at.
Hi I'm in new Zealand. There's always dental. At the hospital for special needs people for all age. And they away put people under. It's been great for my boy who 19 years old. Because he does like it.
So Glad for you found a dentist office that works for you! That’s hard to do no matter specific medical your needs or age! Hope she keeps liking it, they seem awesome! My little nephew also really likes his pediatric dentist that specializes in autistic children.
We are lucky to have a pediatric dentist in network and the staff is caring and meets the kids where there are at. My son does not like to lie on his back in the chair either so they clean and check his teeth standing at up by a sink just like we would brush his teeth at home. When he was little, I would even bring the step stool we used at home. Anything that would help reproduce a familiar setting.
You guys explain things so very well. When people ask me questions about my son, I think I overexplain, and it gets confusing. So I always recommend they watch a few videos of yours to make it easier to understand. Yesterday's vlog and today's explain so much, and they came at just the right time, so I sent them to my aunt who had questions. You're doing a fantastic job!
I carry a copy of the guardianship document from St John’s County in a ziploc (in case anything leaks in my purse). I too won’t allow my verbal but ID daughter to see any medical professional alone. That document gives me the right to be with her. You will need to scan this and send it to every insurance or provider including your pharmacy or they won’t talk to you even though you have to pay the bills. Keep a copy in your vehicles hidden in case of emergency. 18 is a whole new world.
Great information. I appreciate what you do here. Off subject. I work with non-verbal autistic thirteen year old boy. He signs for yes and no.I have been asking him for years if he wants to learn how to read and for the 1st time he said yes. That was 3 months ago. I use pictures and words on 3 x 5 cards. He is able to read 25 words now. Yay🎉😊❤
Our son had to go to the hospital to have put over at Kaiser. Our hospital insurance paid a lot but we still paid $5000. X$6000. Each time. He had root canals, and filling and deep cleaning each time a few years ago he was able to have a Denise do a root canal with sedation.
Asa. To combat brain freeze place the soft pad of your thumb inside your mouth on the roof just behind the front teeth on the curve up to the top of the mouth. The heat of your thumb will warm the nerves and stop the brain freeze.
Abbie did so well at the dentist. I don't do so well at the dentist. Just the thought or mention of it makes me scared and freak out. In the future, I have to get a referral from a dentist to have my teeth removed by an oral surgeon at the hospital I go to. Luckily, my cardiologist doctor recommended I go under anesthesia. So I'll be asleep throughout the whole process.
We have to try nitrous oxide for my son because the sedation dentist couldn't get him in until August and he needs 2 root canals. Myself or my husband go into every appointment with him. He is 17 but has the mental capacity of a 10 year old. I'm so glad Ab is progressing so well!! Way to go Ab!!🥰🥰 Have a great Saturday everyone!!🧡🧡
Nitrous oxide might work for your son and I hope it does in addition to the novacaine. It is applied through a mask over the nose . Nitrous Oxide wears off quickly once the Dentist switches it to oxygen. Follow your son's DR. Recommendations. If you have questions get referrals from other special needs parents re DR. recommendations.
Awesome job, Abbie! 🎉 My son would bite the dentist and the hygienist... she wrote him a script and put him on anxiety meds before he would get there, and they give him gas. It's a must if they don't want to be bit. LoL he just turned 16 and now I'm worried if they are going to let him stay with her or make him change dentists. And I am ALWAYS with him in the dentist/ doctors. My biggest fear is the dentist!
That's so crazy my daughter actually went that same dentist who you mentioned who was charged for neglect of children in his office and the dentist guy actually wanted to hang out with my father and go meet up for lunch some time. We never went back to him after my daughter's consultation but she was bit older when she went there.
15:08 My cousin is autistic and his dentist lets him lay on his sides for visits. Maybe something to ask the dentist about? Maybe Abby would let him look more easier on her side. My cousin is the same way. HATES laying on his back!
It was 90 degrees the day you made this video, don’t know about Florida but in the low country of SC on Saturday when watching it had dropped to 52 with high of 56 for the day.
i had been working in early intervention, about a year after a child C graduated from my program, i got a distressed call from the parent. he needed dental work and the general dentist just wanted to severely restrain him. He was 4 and would have hurt himself fighting the restraints. I was able to refer them to autism friendly dentists. its sad that some dentists just don't try to get it. i understand not having the skills or resources to deal with all disabilities, but at minimum, you should have the intelligence to refer to someone who does-and not demand to be allowed to harm the child.
I have to be sedated when I go to my Children’s Hospital every month…My Hospital sees adults as well with special needs. I have severe PTSD due to a medical procedure that went horribly wrong
I'm a retired Dental Hygienist that worked with children and special needs. It sounds like she did quite well. It disturbs me that the dentist is giving away a something like sugary shave ice after appointments though, what is the child had a fluoride treatment, you aren't supposed to put anything on your teeth for about 30 minutes.
I won't allow any dentist or hygienist to stress my boy out at all the dentist does an exam and if any work needs to be done we set up oral surgery where my boy is asleep
I’m so glad she did well! I unfortunately got my first cavity the other day… I get it filled in about a week. Asa with all the enthusiasm: Abbie! We’re headed to the dentist! 0:47 Abbie’s face: Well, whoop-de-doo That cracked me up. 😂😂😂
i'm struggling with that now myself. I need sedation dentistry because of my high anxiety and they aren't going to pay it but my insurance said if I appeal and I get a letter from my doctor stating I need it then they will pay for it. It is hard to find a dentist that will do sedation.
I’m 35 and I have really bad anxiety at the dentist. I have panic attacks and start to breathe really fast and shake. And when they put the stuff in your mouth to clean I always gag and almost get sick.
Question... do you guys have to deall with guardianship after Abby turned 18?... I live in Massachusetts and I have to do that here and I know it's going to be a long process.
My bf is the opposite! As soon as the gas light comes on, the next stop HAS to be a gas station. Whereas, for me, the light means you have at least 20 miles still!
Ya that my issue trying to find anytime of Dr or dentist my son will be able to trust, it took me a very long time and Dr to find him right eye dr,now it's dentist he has one he loves but they do not use gas and my son needs his wisdom teeth pulled,he's never been put under,and his ticks and anxity are so out of control cuz he knows what needs to happen. I live in Massachusetts and my insurance alot of places do not take and one of them is the place to go for children and teens with special needs. I have no idea who to talk to I have asked his pediatrician and his dentist about help with like payments like a payment plan and they don't know. I just need to get the dentist who knows children with certian medicall issues and how I can keep my son from him having server anxity and ticks. Tried all the dental stuff long time ago,but this is different it's wisdom teeth, and I'm very scared he's never ever had anything for him to be put under no surgery or broken bones. Just don't know. Thank u so much for input and recommendations 😊
We had an encounter at the dentist 🦷 once: I was 5, sister 4, bro 2 (w a broken leg), and mom 24. Finished and came down in the elevator 🛗 DON'T stay in the elevator, tying your shoelaces. When the doors open, get OUT!! I got out .. finally. The telephone booth📞 was across from the elevator. Mom was talking to my aunt, telling her we were finished. Woman came RUNNING 💨 in, STRAIGHT to the elevator, pushing alllllllll the buttons, trying to make the DOORS CLOSE. Her hair was CRASZY, face had streaks on it (scratches or mascarea?!!) She was CRYING!! SCARED to DEATH!!! 1--Minute later, guy came running 💨 in and went straight into elevator, as the doors CLOSED!! Turned around to look out the door of the bldg. POLICEMAN came, with a GUN POINTED INSIDE THE BLDG!!!! ... Guess guy was trying to ATTACK the woman and police were chasing him (them)!!! We got out, home safe & sound. I was 5 then. I'm 54 now. HATE the dentist. And 🛗 ELEVATORS!!! Also, most of my health problems now .. are DENTAL!!! Grrrr !!
Does Abbie Get SSI OR SSDI? My daughter does she’s 14 with Autism, OCD, legal blindness and S shaped Scoliosis neuromuscular disorder. She gets medical insurance that pays for everything including dental.
I know this is an old video, but it was the dentist you took her to when she was three Howard Schneider? The reason I’m asking is cause I heard of a dentist in your area name Howard Schneider that did unnecessary procedures on kids teeth.
I agree that if you are not allowed to go into the room with your child, do not go to the dentist. My son had to have work done when he was seven he will be nine in a few months. And they gave him laughing gas but the thing that they had in his mouth caused him to start choking, and instead of them stopping, he was turning red, and I had to push them out the way to sit my child up. it bothered me to think what would have happened had I not been in that room. It was already a place that took certain type of insurance. It was old and I was not bringing my son back there ever again. Plus I have worked for dental labs and let me tell you the amount these places are charging. All of us are ridiculous. I would do the billing and I would see a 300% markup on things like crowns and bridges and it was just ridiculous.
@@Cheyenne-vi6fi I’m sure some parents don’t mind if their kid goes in alone. Some kids want that independence and that’s fine. My son is a minor and he almost stopped breathing, so I’m glad I was there when this was happening
We go to around the mountain pediatric dentistry there great it’s husband and wife team they work with special needs kids and makes them feel at ease my brother is autistic and he isn’t old enough to sit in a dental chair 🪑 like a big boy 👦 so he has to be taken in a room and he hates the dentist he screams and cries and tells the dentist to go away
Hey 👋🏻 I’ve a question how does Abbey deal with change? As in when you guys go on vacation for her being in a different place like staying at a different place for a few days? Does she change? Is it out of her comfort zone?
Well done Abbie on your visit to the dentist. So happy you all feel confident with Abbie's dentist. Asa and Cilla great advice and information from you both to assist other families. Blessings.
I'm 20, I had to switch from pediatric gi to adult and I like to bring my mom to appointments because I'm horrible at listening and just feel more confident and like I can speak for myself with my mom there. Well my first visit to my adult gi doctor he pretty much told me I shouldn't bring anyone and I should be coming alone. I kinda just brushed it off and said "alright" I guess I'm not sure where I'm going with this but do you guys think my doctor was put of pocket with that comment? Like yes I am an adult and should be able to do it alone, I just like to have another ear to listen and maybe remember things I missed.
Priscilla you would not trade your husband for anything. The dentist I was going to retired and I was very concerned about the people who took over his practice. So I understand stressing out at the dentist
My questions is if abbey had to have. X rays or anything. If abbey had a accident or hurt her self how Do u teach abbey or like hospitals or other places that she isn’t regularly at Does abbey still do shopping therapy and that sort of thing my other question is abbey favourite places and things. She loves or like to do or go to. And my other question is do u get a income for abbey through the government as every country is different. And how do u afford to go to dentist 🦷 for abbey like just knocking abbey out would cost And that How do other parents get these. If they only have a special needs child like abbey. Cos everything is going up in prices in our world my other question is does abbe6 have a kids card account for her to teach her money and to spend stuff .
Put your tongue to the top of your mouth and it will go away! I’m lucky enough that there is a amazing dentist who does any work with my son asleep! Our is Special Smiles in Philadelphia Pennsylvania! This is for disabled people! My son doesn’t talk about life much!
I'm glad you are very aware of people that's great ❤
5:54 Abby looking at her brother lol that made me 😂.
I’m 72 years old and have SPD (sensory processing disorder) dentist are and always and have been a huge struggle for me. Between the bright lights, high pitched sounds & smells it’s challenging!
Hmmmm yes the smells are the worst for me. For the light they use dark sunnglasses for me and the sounds, I use my mp3, headphones and LOUD music.
@@laramaaike3050very helpful info. Might start trying that with my daughter. Thanks

I used you tip with the nail clippers with our 2 grandson.
I love her backpack! Where is is from?
Aldi has these Acacia wood bowls for 20 dollars that are absolutely amazing for anything and everything
Asa. To combat brain freeze place the soft pad of your thumb inside your mouth on the roof just behind the front teeth on the curve up to the top of the mouth. The heat of your thumb will warm the nerves and stop the brain freeze.
I will try again maybe close to the back of the teeth. I always it's the roof of the mouth but it never works!
Abbie did so well at the dentist. I don't do so well at the dentist. Just the thought or mention of it makes me scared and freak out.

The only part I hate more is the process of the anesthesia being put into me, because the last time I had anesthesia it was put through my left arm.
I thought you said there is a “gym” at Costco.
Now I need to find a light bright. The nostalgia is strong with this one.

When Priscilla was describing how Abbie don't necessarily lay all the way back because "ITS TOO MUCH LIKE SLEEP AND WE DONT DO SLEEP" 😂😂😂SO FUNNY ❤
Way to go Abby I’m so proud of you went to the dentist yay

If Abby doesn't like lying on her back, would having a small cushion to 'cuddle' help her to be more relaxed on her back?
I never let my tank get below half full as I always worry about being out of petrol.
I just love these two💙💖
I love my dentist. Even though it's a not a speacial needs dentistry. But there's not many for adults in my state.

I’m 60 years old and I still get horrible anxiety when I go to the dentist. I hate everything about it. 😊

What do u use at home for flossing?
i'm struggling with that now myself. I need sedation dentistry because of my high anxiety and they aren't going to pay it but my insurance said if I appeal and I get a letter from my doctor stating I need it then they will pay for it. It is hard to find a dentist that will do sedation.

Hey 👋🏻 I’ve a question how does Abbey deal with change? As in when you guys go on vacation for her being in a different place like staying at a different place for a few days? Does she change? Is it out of her comfort zone?
I love watching ppl shop lol
i am sure you have done it... since Abby is 18 now did you get POA {Power of Attorney} papers on her...
Well done Abbie on your visit to the dentist. So happy you all feel confident with Abbie's dentist. Asa and Cilla great advice and information from you both to assist other families. Blessings.
If you are here in the north you can’t push gas in the winter
The dentist keeping himself in business after all the sugar you eat...lol
Hello beautiful Maass family. ❤🥰
I'm 20, I had to switch from pediatric gi to adult and I like to bring my mom to appointments because I'm horrible at listening and just feel more confident and like I can speak for myself with my mom there. Well my first visit to my adult gi doctor he pretty much told me I shouldn't bring anyone and I should be coming alone. I kinda just brushed it off and said "alright"
I guess I'm not sure where I'm going with this but do you guys think my doctor was put of pocket with that comment? Like yes I am an adult and should be able to do it alone, I just like to have another ear to listen and maybe remember things I missed.
The dentist was/is a tough one. My son still wears his sunglasses and vibes earplugs for the noises.
No gas, must be a husband thing????? My husband does it a lot!!!!😂😂
You are growing so fast
Growing fast? What do you mean??
Gently bite your tongue when you have a brain freeze
Priscilla you would not trade your husband for anything. The dentist I was going to retired and I was very concerned about the people who took over his practice. So I understand stressing out at the dentist
Wow all those treats are from the dentist…where do you guys live? Abbie learns quickly…how cool is that!

When you get a brain freeze, press the roof of your mouth with your thumb 👍
Asa u made me laugh when u had brain freeze. Lol
My questions is if abbey had to have. X rays or anything. If abbey had a accident or hurt her self how Do u teach abbey or like hospitals or other places that she isn’t regularly at Does abbey still do shopping therapy and that sort of thing my other question is abbey favourite places and things. She loves or like to do or go to. And my other question is do u get a income for abbey through the government as every country is different. And how do u afford to go to dentist 🦷 for abbey like just knocking abbey out would cost And that How do other parents get these. If they only have a special needs child like abbey. Cos everything is going up in prices in our world my other question is does abbe6 have a kids card account for her to teach her money and to spend stuff .
Put your tongue to the top of your mouth and it will go away! I’m lucky enough that there is a amazing dentist who does any work with my son asleep! Our is Special Smiles in Philadelphia Pennsylvania! This is for disabled people! My son doesn’t talk about life much!
I have asked for years, so exited to finally learn how its done for her :)
Way to go Abbie!! 🩷👍
