Do not feel like bad parents! I worked in a pediatric dental office and tons of patients have to get be put to sleep for work. There are numerous forms of sedation we can use. Thank you for sharing how extensive her work was, trust me it is very common! Never feel at fault. We always tell our parents, not to worry you are here now! Parenting in general is HARD and when your child has specialized needs it’s even more difficult at times.I posted a video about brushing teeth for parents who have a child with special needs over on my channel. Also, instead of brushing teeth in the bathroom, brush in bed or on the floor. Mom or dad sit up, put her head in your lap, tilt her chin up toward the ceiling. Have a towel beside you so she can spit or while her Mouth without having to get up a million times. If she tried to escape, just put your leg over her, gently :) I hope this helps 💕

You are WONDERFUL parents. Don't ever doubt that 💙

I'm so proud of the way you both handled this necessary event. Sounds like you found just the right Dentist and staff. Next time will be easier for you, since this experience went so well. Going to the dentist is not an easy task with littles, but I think it will be easier for her the next time, too. I'm glad you added the "extra" at the end. I had a big smile on my face as I watched the relief on your faces, and the "hey!!!!!!" part. Fun times. They'll always outweigh the bad. God bless all three of you as you learn, teach and grow through life with B. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.

So sorry for miss Bray. I'm glad she did well and hopefully some of her awake nights subside, maybe caused by pain she couldn't tell you about. She had to have been having pain. And try the flossers to help you get in there, very hard to get hands in a mouth that small especially when trying to bite you. My son has very sensitive skin as well. Just sitting on the toilet causes red marks for a couple hours.

THANK YOU for sharing this.

🙏💗💗 glad everything turned out good love ya wee family

Awww, what a sweetie! She did great!

I'm so proud of her. And best she came out calm.

Go Braylee!🥳🎉 She definitely handled it like a champ! (and mom & dad😜) Love y’all!💕🧩💕🧩

I have a third cousin that has Asperger Syndrome~She does talk and she is home schooled by her mom Have a fantastic week and weekend! 🦋💕

I just love this family, you’re such an amazing person, daddy, and husband. Most men don’t stick around or even help raise their child even if it’s typical. Plus momma you’re a beautiful and great momma. Don’t feel bad about her teeth because mine brushed twice a day and he still had to get the same thing plus they pulled his top two teeth out , he was only three so he was z3

Hey guys! Don’t feel like bad parents because of B’s teeth. Some people don’t get what it’s like to have to brush the teeth of a child; atypical or not. You all are doing a great job. I’m the only one in my family that doesn’t need sedation dentistry. Sadly, my kids have inherited my teeth and are in the dentist office more often then sunshines. I’m so proud of Braylee. She did an awesome job. It can be so scary, but she handled it like a champ! Yay! B! Love you guys! Give Braylee a big high five from me!

She is SOO cute

Braylee is so tough!!!!!! 🎵🧩🎨🥁🎤🎹🎸📻

I took my 5 year old cousin to the dentist for a checkup after having a similar procedure. 4 nurses had to hold him down and he screamed so hard that he threw up... 3 hours later. as he skipped to the car with a tear stained face, he said in all honesty “I had fun when can we go back?” Braylee did amazing, she is a freaking champ at the dentist

thank you for posting we have a sedation dental appointment later this month for our non verbal daughter to fill 2 cavities and have many of the same fears and worrries it really means alot to know we r not alone

She is so precious.. Love her so much.. that is the best way to do dentistry for kids with disability, I myself have gone through it, and it is amazing how they are.. even as an adult now they still do it the same way, and you get stickers.. LOL.. You guys are not bad parents on the oral care, it is hard at that age and all, and with Autism it is even harder, Do not beat yourself up over this... you guys are champs.. and "B'" is a champion.. she did a great job... that is a cool swing chair she has.. i want one of those... LOL she is so cool. love that at the end.. Hey...

What a little gem she is.💎💎💎 like her mama and papa.✅

Thank you for sharing this. My son is going to get his teeth done soon. This makes me feel a lot more comfortable.

Braylee was a champ!! And so were you guys ❤️ David talking to Braylee the morning of the procedure pulled at the heart strings a bit❤️ I’m sure you feel relief ... her teeth are all fixed and pain free... and they are all her baby teeth ... I bet Braylee will love that tooth brush it looks like a party 😂 and the after the beep “hey” battle was hysterical lol

Such a little champ!! 💪💪💪 So glad things went well 💙

may the force be with you lv abbeys cup great to support the moss squad lv when she dances you guys inspire so many and are amazing parents glad all went ok another great video

I'm so glad it all went well, sounds like Braylee smashed it, like the little superhero that she is...hopefully anything like that in the future will be a little easier as there wasn't the negative impact which can cause anxiety. 6:17 David sporting the dinner lady Jedi Knight look...lookin' good there fella ;-)

Thank you guys for doing this video I have been going through this with my son also non verbal, they offered me to strap him to a board at my last dentist visit, which I do not want to do to him. they said my other option is to put him all the way out at a different dentist, I am going to make an appointment this coming week but I'm so stressed about it, this makes me feel better thank you so much for sharing this. ♡

Thank you for this! I'm sure I'm going to still prepare my mind for all the bad but this still helps me! Braylee did so good.

When you said that the nurse has a 30 year old with aspergers, do you mean her son or another patient? I love how you guys prepped her verbally beforehand and were there every step of the way! You were strong for her, David.

When i was younger in situations like this at the dentist they prescribed some kind of valium that was mild but it helped settle your anxiety. Mind you im now 41 but still im kinda surprised they didnt do this or maybe yall arent into trying that. I will say it does help, even neurotypical kids can have major aniety & issues with the dentist. Seems 2 be quite common. Im glad now days B is better with appts.. I really enjoy watching the old vlogs i've not seen before!

I'm glad you all had a positive dental apt and that it was sedation. I went with someone I knew and her severely autistic son. The dentist put him in a thing like a cacoon where he was belted into this contraption he couldn't get out of. His mom refused to get him sedated. He ended up kicking one of the nurses in the eye, needless to say the dentist stopped seeing him. He screamed all the way through After we left I told it was too traumatizing for him and I wouldn't go again. He had really healthy teeth. I felt so bad for Chris. So its nice to see parents doing what's right for their child. Thanks for posting I now know it can be a positive experience.

I think this video was very helpful for new parents to have an idea of what to expect. I’m very happy she have an easy and non traumatic experience and it might be easier for you guys in the future less anxiety and she will have this nice memory as a reference is good that it was fast... she is very resilient that’s for sure... I have a question does she have her baby tooth 🦷 or grownup tooth? I recommend the xiaomi toothbrush is not 360 like the one that Abby use but the supersonic xiaomi toothbrush vibrates 31 thousand time per minute that it is awesome.

Precious babe. You are confident that they aren’t in the business of taking advantage of people right? My mom had a dentist convince her parents that she needed 12 crowns and several fillings/root canals at once and it messed up her teeth for life and then the next dentist she went to pulled up the X-ray records from the guy who did the massive amount of work and found out he lied. I’m shocked sweet girl needed so much work. My heart aches for her. DO NOT feel like you failed her. You guys are incredible parents who move mountains for your girl! I’m glad it went smoothly for the most part! Keep being awesome!

watching this as an autistic adult who's having to get stuff done next week. i have to get one molar taken out and the rest filled. i'm super scared but this is helping me not be too scared T-T

I was a dental assistant for a pediatric dentist for 18 yrs , that was the best option for her . Y’all keep your head up . I have a 17 yr old son that has autism and Aspergers ( autism spectrum disorder ) good luck to you all

Aww such a big girl! 😁 good job Braylee! Guess I should stop complaining about the one crown I got yesterday lol. Glad she did so well. With all she needed done, do you think she may eat more now? You mentioned before that she doesn’t like cold things like ice cream. Makes you wonder if some of it may have been sensitivity? Try not to beat yourself up though, y’all are amazing parents. There is no denying that she is your world and you’d do anything for her 💕.

Thanks for the video! We haven't taken our daughter in yet I know its gonna be a huge ordeal! Pretty sure sedation will be our only option too. Glad to hear shes doing so well after!💙💙💙💙

As someone who is going to go for sedition dentisty soon this was helpful mine is for a cleaning and X-rays and other stuff like that

Maybe picksters/mini flossers-those toothpick one end small flosser the other may help you with flossing her teeth-I hope you know what I mean! I guess now is the time to try to get Braylee as desensitised to brushing/flossing before her adult teeth come-maybe Asa and Priscilla could give you some pointers-or maybe even your ABA therapist-maybe they could work on it with you guys.

I feel you. Lotus has OCD, PICA, and oral fixation. Her teeth are chipped and broken on the front top from over brushing. We have been to the dentist so many times and nothing gets accomplished. The last time we went she was so stressed that she pooped herself. It's not easy to explain when you as the parent is crying and literally throwing a fit right along with your child. Both of us were screaming "STOP!" Lotus has OHP (Oregon Health Plan) so they asign a dentist and our experience is they are not trained to handle special needs at all. Sedation referal is our next appointment. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

I just hve a quick question how long did the procedure take my daughter is having her appointment in two days ?

Way to go Braylee! Thank you for sharing her experience. I feel a little less anxious about our son's appointment. I know what you mean about feeling horrible when they told you how much much they did. We have really struggled with brushing ours teeth. We got the 360 brush and it's working well. We need to work on flossing. how did Braylee do not being able to eat or drink after midnight?

Do you ever rewatch this one and realize how all those feelings come back again? I empathize

I miss the songs in the video. But I'm not worried. Can't wait to see what she sings next.

Thanks for sharing the details of this experience, it makes me feel a little less nervous about taking Abby now. We had to get Abby put under to get blood tests and it was horrible seeing her like that, especially when she was waking up looking so confused. She kept wanting to walk and couldn't understand why her legs wouldn't hold her up....it was hard to watch. We got through it though and she was amazing. Do you know where I can get one of those 3D toothbrushes you mentioned?

Lol. She looks like my daughter when she wakes up. That face though! My daughter sings all the time too. I make up little songs to sing to her to make her less anxious,calm her down n teach her things. That's so awesome that the nurse at the dentist/oral surgeon has a son with Asperger's so she'll understand a little bit better how to handle things with B. I need to take my daughter to the dentist but I'm terrified. They're gonna have to sedate her just to examine n clean her teeth. I'm so scared of her freaking out when they have sharp metal tools near/in her mouth. I need to find a children's dentist that understands/has experience with special needs.

I work in an ABA clinic and we have a rotating theme room. We rotate things like barber shop, kitchen, and currently we have it set up like a dentist office! We have a real chair and some pretend tools. We also have a play doh teeth brushing set and other fun things like that to work on desensitizing kiddos!

Cavities can also be genetic though! For me, it took a long time, but eventually ever crevice got a cavity and now I can’t get any more 😅 it’s because my teeth have such deep grooves. (Had such deep grooves.) You see, I have used an electric tooth brush and soft tooth, I floss and use and mouthwash. Sometimes I use the soft toothbrush for a pre-brush or just for my tongue and gums., and the electric brush for the real job. People always tell me I have very nice teeth and the dentists always highly praise me for my “great home care”. But at the end of the day, none of that mattered 😅 all of my teeth are filled On the other hand, I have a friend who just does a simple night brush, but because of how her teeth are, she never got a cavity 🤦‍♀️

Great recovery... it’s a lot, I’ve been there too. don’t forget they are just her baby teeth, it’s her adult teeth that will count more. I’m dealing with wisdom teeth now... yikes!

I’m taking my daughter to the dentist tomorrow for the first time and I’m terrified! She has autism as well and I was told that they may need to sedate her. I’m so so scared. I’ll be there with her alone. Do you have any tips on how you controlled your nerves during your experience? 🙏🏼 thank you for sharing your story.

Somebody was having fun with the coffee editing. =)

My daughter just had this sedation dentistry today. Her first visit they weren't able to see what was needed, but today they could x-ray then had to remove 5 of her rotten baby teeth, and 4 fillings on her bigger teeth. What kinds of foods worked for Braylee after the dentist visit?

Braily did well I don't know if she did but I would not be surprised if Braily played outside when she got 🏡 I noticed that it was snowy outside.

It’s so good it all went well, and helpful to others, nut why does David look like his about to full asleep any minute in most vlogs?

She did such a good job! When I was her age, I had an I.V and I screamed and freaked out when I saw it!

So did they do the I.V. sedation? My girl is 5 and is fixing to have some extensive work done

I think thay still make the Dentist play doe set. Or maby American Doll has a dentist set...

Does your daughter gave to go to the u of m for her dental work. It's common to gave radiation dentistry.

Wish they would sedate me. Lol. I havent been to the dentist in forever but now I'm looking into places but they prob dont take medical.

That's funny bcuz I was gonna say David looked like a soon to be new dad wearing his gown n hair cover. I feel like a terrible mom because my daughter hasn't been to the dentist yet n she just turned 6. I did try once n she wouldn't go in the chair. U would've thought someone was trying to kill her. Then I tried at her school twice because they had a dentist come once a year but the first time they said they didn't get the form that I filled out giving permission even though I sent it n 2nd time the dentist didn't come. I have always taken excellent care if her teeth though, brushing 2x a day on school days n 3x on wknds, homeschool during pandemic. I need to find a children's dentist that has experience with special needs. I want to get the toothbrush Asa uses for Abby for my daughter too. Don't feel bad about the cavities. U guys try your best. It's hard when kids don't like to brush, won't let u do it thoroughly, won't floss or can't/won't use mouthwash. My daughter has super sensitive skin like B. Everything leaves a mark on her.

I’ve done sedation dentistry twice already slept a lot the second time in recovery and when I got home felt groggy after everything was done and all I wanted to do was get into my bed and sleep everything off

Hi, I just came across your channel. I am visually impaired and I run a nonprofit. We have recently started doing dental programs, some of them for special needs because from my own experiences, getting dental care is so difficult. And taking care of oral hygiene is difficult.
