Dentist Appointment

We went to the non-wheelchair accessible special needs dentist yesterday (although they say that within a year the office will be moving to a new accessible location).

It went very well considering everything Jackson has going on (grinding, vomiting, oral defensiveness, etc). Even though we do not use toothpaste with him (the taste makes him barf) his teeth looked very clean. There was one small area of calculus behind the bottom front teeth. She was able to scrape the calculus and give his teeth a cleaning. There was lots of gagging, but he didn't barf...yay!!

The bad news is that in the somewhat near future he will need crowns on his molars because of his grinding, but it can wait at least until his next appointment in 6 months.
