Case Description
Hi. I have an Autistic son with high anxiety who has a small cavity starting in his lower left, last molar. We carry medicaid insurance and I have two jobs if I have to pay anything out of pocket. There is no way to take care of him awake "IF" he needs a filling proceedure. Metro handles children under "5 for anesthesia." Who else could knock him out safely, University Hospital? Do you have suggestions? I don't think his back molar will fall out for years yet. I won't leave him alone in a proceedure room knocked out unless their is a medical team present. safety reasons. email: psychicsky@cox.net

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

No Estimate at this time. Additional information required.
Calling a pediatric dentist is a good first step. Many have hospital appointments and can do the treatment in a hospital setting under general anesthesia.
