We are an autistic friendly practice
Going to the dentist can be a very stressful experience for those on the autism spectrum and their carers.
44 Dental Care is an Autism Friendly Practice and we aim to make the visit as stress free as possible.
Below are some links to information pages that can prepare the patient for the dental experience and that can help to make the experience better. We have also created a specially designed ‘social narrative’ mini-book which can help reduce the stress and acquaint with what happens during a visit.
- British Society of Paedriatric Dentistry: – Advice for parents of children with autism
- Autism.org.uk – Preparing for a visit to the dentist
- Autism.org.uk – Social stories and comic strip conversations
- Autism.org.uk – Visual supports
