I know the books/dentists encourage them coming in even before teeth start erupting. I think my son was 3 or 4

Years? When y’all starting going?

Yes, sorry, he was about 3 or 4 years old

I took mine to my annual routine dentist appointment when he was a baby and registered him with my dentist and booked an appointment he was probably about 11 month old and it was more of a ‚mock‘ dentist appointment where he was allowed to have a look at everything, he sat on my lap on the big chair and I (mum) demonstrated to him what was going to happen. We played with the little mirror and the dentist had a quick glance into his mouth. That’s all. Very fun and building a positive experience. I am in the UK and I was recommended this by my Health visitors. I thought that was a great idea.

He had about 7/ 8 teeth by then.

@Bridgette oh okay cool thank you! 😊

@Alice I’m taking my son now and he’s 2 but just making sure if i dtill need to

I think my daughter was 2!

Around a year old, I think

I used to work at a dental office and we always recommended to bring them in once they start having teeth come in. I took my son at 10 months. It’s mostly to just get them used to being at the dentist

Around 11 months

At 6 months.

Annual from age one with my boys.

I took him with me so he wasn’t to scared and his first appointment is next month after his 2nd birthday

1 years old.

One year old

Around a year old.

My son went for his first appointment when he was 15 months. He will see the dentist again in the summer. I am taking him in every 6 months to keep it familiar.
