@trevorcarroll_: Haha but in all seriousness I haven’t been in for a cleaning for a year and half. Last time I was there I got a root canal and it was literally the worst sensory experience ever. I have a cleaning scheduled on Thursday and I’m trying everything to not cancel this one. Any and all tips needed pls. 🤦🏼🫨🦷 #autism #neurodivergent #autistic #sensoryissues dentist
G-U-R-L!!! I hate it! I literally need to be medicated! The noise is just unbearable…. ✨🙉🙈🙊

Noise cancelling headphones, fidget toy, put your hand up if you ever need them to stop and you can have a break. If it gets too much you can come back for the rest of your hygiene another day and do it in stages too - that’s what we do at my dentist here in nz, I’m audhd too :) it’s really not a nice experience but if you have empathetic clinicians it can be just that bit better

Sunglasses for the bright lights, a safe show/movie to listen to, and a sleep aid (like benedryl) as a slight sedative does the trick for me:)

I heard sometimes people take anti anxious meds before appointment or painkillers. My phycologist also recommend a session with motivation.

Every time I go to the dentist, I bring my noise canceling headphones, my prescription sunglasses, and do my best to sit there quietly the last time I had a cleaning, my teeth were a little dirtier than they should have been so like 2/3 of the way through I said I’m done. I need a break and stretched. I would either bring a weighted blanket or ask if you can wear the lead vest while they’re cleaning your teeth. Be honest with the hygienist from the very beginning that you’re autistic and need a little extra support.

I hadn't gone in about ten years, then about a year and a half ago had my wisdom teeth removed and they caused a bunch of nerve damage 😞
