Summary
This online article describes a broad range of treatment options for children who experience anxiety when receiving dental treatments. The article notes that dentists don't generally receive training in the use of restraints, sedation, or anesthesia during standard dentistry educations, and that families should seek out a dentist who has completed additional training in such procedures if necessary.

Autism Speaks describes itself as an organization "dedicated to advancing research into causes and better treatments for autism spectrum disorders and related conditions both through direct funding and collaboration; increasing understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorders; and working toward solutions for the needs of individuals with autism and their families across the spectrum and lifespan through advocacy and support."
