Yes?

No?

*** If not, when do you plan to take them.

Jules G · October 2010

No, we haven't taken her yet. I plan on asking pedi about that when H goes for her 15 month check up.

My 3 year old went right around her 3rd birthday. My 18 month old has not been yet, and will probably go sometime between 2 and 3 years old.

BeanieWeanie · October 2010

Not yet. We just moved though and I need to find a dentist - I'll probably take him when I next go myself.

Good question! No, we haven't taken DS yet. But we are going to ask at his 15 month check up on Monday.

ljlkm · October 2010

Not yet. I'll take him when he's 2-3.

hokies94 · October 2010

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!

Lopo · October 2010

Nope. The dentist said to bring him in when he's two for my visit, just to watch and such. But then he can go in himself between 2-3 years old.

I'll probably take her at 2.5. Pedi said between 2 & 3 is a good age.

*sallymad* · October 2010

No my dentist (who is also my cousin) said she doesn't need to come in until she's 3.

BridetoJ · October 2010

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.

easyBreezie · October 2010

Yep, DS went at 13 months.

Ivana_Stolichnaya · October 2010

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.
