No we haven't been yet. I don't plan on taking him until he's 2 1/2 or 3-until he can understand a little more. I didn't take my older kids until they were 3ish and we have no dental issues so far.
Yup, we went last week actually. They cleaned his teeth and looked at them, and assessed the damage, if any, that the paci was doing to his bite. He did pretty good and was happy that they gave him a toy after!

I brought ds last week because both dd's had appts for cleanings. They "cleaned" his 6 teeth but basically I just want him used to it for when he really has to be there.
Katie had her 12 month appointment today. I asked when you should take them in for the first time. The pedi said anywhere from 6 months to 3 years is the recommended time frame, however she personally recommends between 2-3 years old.

yes, DS went at 12 months for his first visit/cleaning.
He actually was seen at 9 months after he fell on his rocking chair and pushed his top two teeth in the gum. it all turned out ok though.
