Camp fam at the dentist headcanons bc I went today and was so brave
Darius:
• Using my autistic!Darius headcanon, he hates the dentist. Not the people themselves but going. The tools, the flossing, the fouride its all sensory hell. As a kid he wore earplugs to his appointments and got light sedation for anything more than a routine cleaning
• His parents were very supportive and instilled good dental hygiene in him so his appointments go smoother
• As an adult he treats himself with a sticker and soft safe food post appointment
Kenji: (tw med trauma and neglect)
• No one really bothered to teach him good brushing habits as a kid and he was given free reign with sugar so he got chronic cavities
• Was a cryer and biter due to his teeth constantly hurting and constantly had laughing gas
• The first time he got a filling without laughing gas he wasn't numbed enough and felt everything (samesies), making him terrified of dentists
• When he was adopted by the Bowmans he put off going to the dentist for a very long time, luckily Darius sat with him during his consultation and gave him some calming tools
• He got his wisdom teeth as well as a couple teeth pulled, had a panic attack after but for once his mouth didn't hurt
• Still not a fan but he is So Brave
Sammy
• Doesn't like dentists
• Had braces as a kid and although she stayed on top of brushing and flossing, her hygenist would still complain about having to clean her teeth (same)
• Dreaded going to the dentist until she got her braces off and was told her teeth were almost perfect
• As an adult she went through multiple dentists before finding one that was nice
• Plans something fun after her appointments to take her mind off of it
Yaz:
• Never had an issue with the dentist or her teeth
• Is the supportive buddy for rest of camp fam
Ben:
• Was super careful about brushing his teeth and flossing to prevent cavities and enjoyed the dentist as a kid
• After Nublar he was too depressed to brush his teeth or remember to floss and dentists just kept scolding him for it so he stopped going
• Post CC injury the others help him brush his teeth when he doesn't have the energy (I don't have any knowledge on going to the doctor with a mobility aid so if anyone wants to add anything itd be greatly appreciated
• Keeps a stockpile of the little goodie bags
Brooklyn (tw possible neglect?)
• As a child star traveling around the world she likely didn't get regular cleanings, was good at brushing and flossing though
• Her dads used Invisalign and whitening treatments to make her teeth look good which made them really weak and crowded
• She always cried when she got cleanings bc her teeth were so sensitive
• Ironically, her teeth got a chance to fix themselves on Nublar but her and Kenji definitely had the worst decay after coming home
• Now she has a bunch of reminders and alarms to schedule dentist appointments and takes one of the camp fam with her
