Anxiety at the dental office...
Many people, including young kids, may find the dental office an anxiety provoking place. A technique to help kids, particularly kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder, is to discuss a social story prior to going to the dental office.
The Hands in Autism Resource centre has a great tool to help kids out. It is like a visual story.
