Anthony,
The hyperactive gag reflex is something I've had my entire life, but I
always thought it was related to my hydrocephalus; several people I know
with hydro have hyperactive gag reflexes because of the way the pressure
influences the way their brain is situated in their skulls.
The problem of dentists with full hospital privileges is fairly common.
You may want to look for an oral surgeon who'd be willing to do general
dentistry in your case. Oral surgeons generally have the necessary
hospital credentials for that. That may make it easier to get insurance
to cover the treatment, too.

Subject: dental question
Friends,
For sometime, I have wanted to throw out this question, but I have a gag
reflex, which causes the dentist to have to put me under for any dental
work, and I'm just wondering if this is common for adults with cerebral
palsy? Another problem I'm experiencing due to the licensing for
dentists,
there are very few of them willing to travel to the OR to conduct work?
Has
anyone experienced this also?
Thanks,
Anthony
