pedi dentist

in Cincinnati Babies

At what age did your child start going to the dentist?  I had asked my dentist and she recommended not starting until 3.  However, when I took DD to the pediatrician for her 3 year old checkup, they seemed surprised when I said she hadn't been to see one yet. 

Eastside ladies~ Do you have a pediatric dentist you would recommend?  I remember there being one (maybe in Milford?) that was discussed awhile back that a lot of you seemed to like.

TIA!

    My dentist recommends Dr. Vieson and Dr. Creath.  Both are independent of each other, but they recommend them equally.  We also need to get him in to see one... we've been delaying the inevitable. 

    ETA:  Both are in Milford on 28 (towards old Milford)

    Funny...I kind of got the opposite advice.  Our pedi said DD didn't need to see a dentist until she was 3.  But my dad (a dentist) said we should have taken her by now.  So I'm thinking we'll take her soon (she's 2.5 so I figure it's a happy medium).  I'm also looking for recommendations since I haven't a clue where to take her.

    I just scheduled my son his first dental visit for the end of September with Elizabeth Mueller and Associates on Montgomery Rd.  He will be close to 2 at the time of the appt, and when I contacted them to schedule it they recommend the first visit being at the time they start getting teeth...I think it's going to be different depending on who you talk to, and whether they are a pediatrician or a dentist.  Here is the website for the office.

    I was told to wait until after 3 and maybe even closer to 4.  We will go within the year for the first time.  I think there is no hurry as long as you are teaching her to brush, and do it daily.  By 4, they should be spitting, and ready for fluoride toothpaste, so that is a perfect time to go to the dentist.

    I took DS at 2.5 because he was complaining about pain and the pedi couldn't find anything.  He ended up being fine, but now we have just continued with regular visits.  I am glad we went so early; he really set my mind at ease with our paci situation and now DS loves going to the dentist.  DS sees Dr. Creath in Milford and I highly recommend him.  They have chocolate toothpaste!!!  Smile

    I started taking Maggie at age 2 to Dr. Elizabeth Mueller in Montgomery. The office is great. We're going for her third visit tomorrow actually!

    I'm a dental hygiene fanatic and love going to the dentist so I figured the earlier we got her used to the visits the better.

    Logan sees Dr. Creath in Milford.  He was my dentist until I graduated college.  Logan's first visit was a week before his 3rd birthday and he did great.
