What should I do?Do I need to worry?

My 13 year old son has permanant teeth comming in,and his baby teeth are still there.He has autism,and is hard to take him to the dentist.He was on SSI and Medicaid.His medicaid was canceled along with SSI,because he gets social security death benefits from his dad.I always have to take him out of town and have him sedated,so they can work on him.My husband works and along with his social security,not sure we can get insurance.Will they have to pull some teeth?So far i notice 2 comming in,but his back mollars should be comming in also.Help.

Yes you should take him to a dentist and have the baby teeth removed. I had the same problem, and because of that my permanent teeth were not coming in straight. My mom took me to a dentist and she removed them. After that my permanent teeth straightened out by themselves, didn't even need braces. It didn't hurt at all.

I know it is hard to get treatment for him, but you should make an appointment for him as soon as possible. The baby teeth need to come out to make room for the permanent ones.
He should have regular check ups. It is usually cheaper to have work done when cavities are small than waiting until things are really bad and probably would be less stressful for him.
