Special Needs Dentists in the NYC area
Belated thanks to Karel for passing along this incredibly helpful link to dentists who work with the special needs population. The site includes info for each hospital and/or doctor, what insurance, Medicaid or fee programs they accept, and which (if any) sedation services they offer. Where was this awesome list when I was cold-calling dentists several months ago?

No personal experience, but Columbia (on the list) comes highly recommended by some friends.
Success! Well, kind of…. Okay, not really
I did it, through sheer determination, a lot of silent cursing and no small amount of sweat and tears (some mine, some the kids). I got through to BronxCare Dental! Hooray! I don’t know how many phone calls (more than 25) or exactly how many hours (more than 6) but this last time, after a mere 15 minute wait, I finally reached a very pleasant young lady who apologized for the ordeal I went through (see my previous post on MLK Health Center).
As I suspected, it took her less than 2 minutes to reschedule us.
For 2 months from now.
It’s disgusting that I feel like not taking James on vacation so that we can keep our original appointment.
