whats your opinion on dentists using papoose boards for kids or special needs at the dentist there even used on adults too in some states how are papoose boards still allowed i mean they may help but they can make a person very scared of the dentist and not want too go i think sedation is better what theirs risks with that so sometime a papoose board may be the only option if you ever seen a papoose board at the dentist you know there very snug and they strap you down tight you cant move papoose boards are scary but sometimes the option so if you or your kids ever been strapped down on a papoose share your story

Never heard of such a thing.....is it for people who are really scared of the dentist and move around too much?

"Looks like you may have the start of a cavity there so we need to run more xrays and scans..."

I've never heard of the papoose board either. My son has had to have sedation in the past for dentist visits when he was young, but he seems to be much better now. I can imagine that if a special needs person can't sit still during a procedure, it cause be dangerous while the dentist has power tools in their mouth. I can also see how it could be very scary to be strapped down and feel like you have no control.

I go to the dentist twice a year for checkups/cleanings. The tech that cleans my teeth always asks me when the last time that I flossed was. And I always give her the same answer......I floss twice a year, each time that I sit in this chair.
