So I'm on the phone with the receptionist and she's asking me the regular questions they ask of a first time patient's parent. She tells me which dentist we'll see tomorrow and start to dig in with questions about who has experience with kids like mine and then I'm all, "Whatever. We gotta start somewhere," and then it happened.
"By the way, my daughter has Ds, so could you please inform Dr. H of this beforehand because I don't want this to be a thing. I don't expect him to know everything about Ds and I'm more than happy to work with him as a team on my daughter's care. Just tell him to ask questions if he has any."
Her: "Uh, oh, ok."
Me: "Kthanksbye."
Ha! Felt good.
I feel so much more empowered after the last few days, lemme tell you.

Find out more about the legal terms of dentistry (e.g. dental hygiene laws; license validity) in Virginia at http://virginiadentists.com You will also find great advice on how to find a good dentist, short documentation on preventive dental care, cosmetic dentistry and common procedures. I found it very useful and to speak the truth, you can never be too careful about looking after your health.
We go to a pediatric dentist who works with special needs kids. Kayla still hates it, but at least he's seen it all before.
