Q. Hi, our son has special needs (learning difficulties etc). We have seen the community dentist who wants to give him G.A and remove all his teeth that have cavities/ gone bad. We’ re not happy with this- we feel any tooth that can be filled should be!! We’re wondering if there’s a private dentist that would treat our son, and keep as many teeth as poss!! He’s waited 6 months already for an appt to have a bad tooth removed that we know has had an abcess on it!! Please help!!

A. hi many thanks for your email, the issue is how cooperative your son is while having dental treatment and what age he is. other options are sedation for treatment but he does need to be a minimum age of 16. hope this is helpful. i would be happy to assess your son and give you some more options that are available in the private sector.
