Help...impossible to sit in dentists chair
Posted , 2 users are following.
Right, hi guys & girls I'm new to this so please be gentle!
Hubby has dentist today and is now considering cancelling!
It will be impossible for him to sit/lie on dentists chair due to failed spinal fusion and has not been able to sit atall since last February when the initial back injury happened!
He usually spends his day either lying on left side propped up on pillows or standing up - no in between for him unfortunately!
Wondering if anyone has been in/heard of similar situations and if a dentist will be sympathetic and even able to treaty husband!
I know that they'll be other situations they're used to doing eg: wheelchair bound and phobias etc but unsure how the dentist is going to be able to accommodate my husbands awkwardness!!
Many thanks

Had been telling him for past week or so but he'd insisted it'd be ok - until this morning when he thought of all possible scenarios and the panic set in!!
Called dentist myself and they said bring him in to see.
Luckily managed to semi-flatten chair and I helped him shift onto left side awkwardly! Also took the x-rays standing up!
Where there's a will there's a way thank goodness!
Thanks for advice xx
