Day 2 at PGH, Maraming dentist nga ang nagre-recommend ng sedation o minsan minor surgery setup kapag magpapa-bunot ng ngipin ang isang batang may autism dahil sa mga sumusunod na dahilan:

1. Sensory Sensitivity

Maraming kids na may autism ang sobrang sensitive sa tunog, ilaw, vibration, at pressure. Sa pagbunot ng ngipin, may ingay ng drill, pressure, at maraming hawak sa bibig — puwedeng mag-cause ng meltdown, panic, o involuntary movement.

2. Difficulty Staying Still

Kailangan steady at hindi gagalaw sa extraction para maiwasan ang injury sa gums, lips, at nerves. Kung may possibility na kakabig, sisigaw, o biglang gagalaw, mas safe ang sedated.

3. Safety ng Bata at Dentist

Kapag hindi cooperative (hindi dahil ayaw, pero dahil overwhelmed), may risk na:

👉 masugatan ang cheek o tongue
👉 Hindi matapos ang procedure

Kaya sedation ensures controlled, safe, at mabilis na bunot.

4. Reduced Trauma / Anxiety

Para hindi maging negative experience ang dentist para sa bata. Kapag sedated, hindi nila maalala at mas smooth ang healing.

5. Deep Impactions or Multiple Extractions

Kung maraming ipapabunot o complicated ang position ng tooth, mas recommended talaga ang OR setup o Surgical Extraction.

👉 Ano Ang Difference ng Sedation vs Surgery Setup?

Sedation (IV/contactless sedation): Kalma, antok, hindi nagtantrum

Minor surgery setup (OR): Ginagamit kapag kailangan mas controlled environment, may monitoring, at mas safe sa kids with special needs.

Dahil di nga natuloy ang Oral/Dental Rehabilitation Minor Surgery nya nakaraan dahil sumakto sa Bagyong Uwan ay na re-sched nga kami ulet for admission kahapon and hoping Bukas ay matuloy na Ang procedure 🙏💗

It began like any other afternoon — until a young autistic boy slipped past a fence and jumped straight into a lion’s enclosure.

Everyone watching froze. The lion, a massive male named Kwan, could have attacked instantly — but he didn’t. Instead, he stood still as the boy ran up, wrapped his arms around his mane, and whispered softly. For nearly a minute, they stayed like that — predator and child, in perfect stillness.

When rescuers arrived, Kwan calmly stepped back, watching as they lifted the boy to safety. Not a scratch. Just silence — and awe.

Experts called it one of the most extraordinary acts of restraint ever recorded. “It’s as if he knew,” a ranger said. “He knew the child meant no harm.”

Maybe it was instinct. Maybe compassion. But that day, one lion reminded the world — even the fiercest hearts can choose kindness.
