Dentist?

  My cousin's son turns 2 in December and she mentioned at thanksgiving that his first dentist appt is next month, so the timing sounds about right.

  As far as recs, the only one I have experience with is at the 2669 chili ave office.  I grew up going there on the pediatric side with Dr Lowell.  But he has retired and is now replaced by Dr Shea.  My husband and I go to Dr Lubes on the adult side.  I have experience with the office, but not with Dr Shea.  But most likely we will take DD to her eventually since it is all the same office, just different sides.

  My dentist said starting around age 2, our pedi said as soon as they have teeth. DS will just be going onto my dental insurance in January, so I have his first appt at the end of that month since he has all of his teeth already (he'll be 20 months).

  Sorry, I have no recommendation for Roc.

  I asked at the one year appointment and our Ped said that a pediatric dentist may say to visit as early as with the first few teeth but that a first visit around 2 years of age was appropriate.  One of DH's clients is a pediatric dentist- he did tell us to get in to see him now but I've been avoiding it (she still only has 2 teeth right now).

  I have bad teeth...not because I don't take care of them or anything, I just do. So I plan on taking LOs to the dentist as much as possible....probably starting at about 18 mo or so.
