Dental and vision?

When do you need to add this to babies insurance? I have the option of adding them now or next September. I didn't know if it was better to get it now or later.

We added DS right away simply because the insurance DH's work offers is all or nothing, otherwise we probably would've waited until DS was one.

I'm adding for 2015. The incremental cost to me is negligible, so I figure why not.

We took DD1 to her first dental visit at a year. I don't think I would take DD2 any earlier than that. It is pretty inexpensive if you pay out of pocket because they do not really do much. They looked into her mouth and wiped something on her teeth with a q-tips.

@crawford411‌ that's interesting about the eye appointments. When I asked my ophthalmologist he told me there isn't really much they can do until kids have communication skills. I guess I should look into that more.

I was just wondering about this! We can add in May so I think I'll wait

I feel like I've seen infants under 1 wearing glasses (with a band around their head to keep them on) for a lazy eye or because they are cross eyed. are those actually treated at > 1 yo?

My (preemie) twins are seeing a pediatric ophthalmologist at six months, but it is covered under medical. We only have that appointment because they are preemies though.
