Going to the dentist has never been easy for Isaac, but over the years it's gotten much easier. He brought two iPads, a speech device, and a hotspot with him to the appointment. I guess he had planned to be distracted.
Do they attempt to take X-rays? No. It's never worked out. But Isaac's teeth are cleaned and examined, and he has a good experience these days with a very patient dentist and staff. He watched Wheel of Fortune on his device as he reclined.
Like so many people with disabilities, he might go to the hospital and be given anesthesia for any significant dental work. X-rays can be done then. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find dentists who want to accept Medicaid and work with this population. I'm thrilled we have someone local.
No cavities!
When Isaac returned home, he wanted to snuggle. I'm always the one he comes to for comfort. He sat close to me on the couch. I asked him to put his head down, and he melted into my arms.
