i need dentist work i need maybe 8 fillings, a tooth pulled a root canal, i may ask for sedation gas i am very scared of the dentist can you help me out also can i go too a kids dentist i have autism and adhd and im age 23 but i still very fearful..............?

Many dentists will offer sedation, you have to find out if the one you're thinking of does. Some dentists specialize in kids with special needs and they may accept an adult but again it's individualized.

If you aren't comfortable calling for information, can you get someone else to do it for you?

well some of the dentist use papoose boards too which im ok with i have autism, adhd, i need a dentist that offers sedation gas or iv meds and also can used a papoose board if needed

Do you know anyone in your area with issues similar to yours? You could ask what dentist they use.

I feel for you. I, too, have an irrational fear of dentists.

There are dentists who specialize in patients like you (who have a fear of dentists, not specifically autism although I've heard of a new program just for that.)

Here's a website to help dental-phobic patients: http://www.dentalfearcentral.org/help/find-a-dentist/

You might also call/email dental schools and see if they can recommend a dentist that specializes in patients with dental phobia.
