Autism and the Dentist

We made the four hour trip to Dr. Rose's Pediatric Dentistry.  We attempted the extractions and filling without sedation and guess what?  He did GREAT!!!  We've had to do sedation for dental work before, but this time
I didn't even have to hold him down!  I held his hands during the shots, but he was a trooper!  Our pediatrician had prescribed him Ativan for this visit and we think it REALLY helped him to not be as anxious.  Dr. Rose was SUPER fast and so kind.  We were glad to have it over with.  The pictures were taken on the way, right after the procedure, and him completely exhausted when we finally got home.
