Hello all, I am the mother of a four year old who has Autism, and I have been putting off the dentist because I know how he will react! My hubby and I know that sedation is a probability. Can anyone give recommendations for a dentist who fits the criteria as far as treating Special Needs Children and does sedation? I am willing to travel to DC, NOVA, Baltimore Area if I have to. Any thing that is within a one hour drive. I am in College Park, MD. Thanks for all the help!!!!

N.

What can I do next?

I know that Children's Hospital in DC has a dental department/clinic. They might be your best bet. If they can't treat him, I know that they can atleast refer to someone who may help. Also the dental school at the Univ. of MD in Baltimore has a dental clinic. There is a Dr. Camps in Silver Spring that specializes in children. He is really good.

I don't know of any myself, but I wonder if the local chapter of the Autism Society of America might have some information for you. The list of MD chapters is found here:

If not, then I would try asking the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, which specializes in treating all kinds of disabilities.

Hope they can find you someone who can interact successfully with your son.
