Dentist

When do I have to take my 16 month old to the dentist for a check up? His got a good set of teeth. It suddenly dawned on me this morning. Thank you.

If you have a dentist then get him signed up asap. I registered my LB when he was about 4 months old because I went for my app & the HV said to get him signed up. They’ve not seen him yet & said usually it’s closer to 2 but I guess you can go anytime :)

I had a dentist appointment the other week and took my baby with me so he could see me in the chair and hopefully make it a place he has been before so he isn't as nervous when it's his turn. I spoke to the dentist and he said when they're around 2 is when you want to get them in property. My dentist was really good though and let him sit in the chair and had a little look in his mouth to try and get him used to it😊

So we've been twice already for check ups. Our dentist said to come every 6 months so we are back there in Jan. Hope that helps.

I was able to register her shortly after she was born and my dentist said to just bring her along to any of my appointments. I go every three months so she's been each time with me, and he's had a look at her teeth and said all looks fine. At this point he said it's just really good for her to get used to the environment and sounds and smells so that she can learn there's nothing to be afraid of.
