Hi mamas! When did you take your LO to the dentist or when are you planning to? Mine has a healthy number of teeth and I have no clue when I’m supposed to take her.

I took mine when she was 11 months when she first started getting her teeth

I’m taking her once my open enrollment for insurance comes around to add her on it. I would’ve taken her already because she’s got around 10 teeth but im not paying out of pocket for that. We brush and floss her teeth regularly so im not concerned

I took just daughter at 8 months, after her first two teeth grew in

I'm scared to take my daughter , she puts up a huge struggle over her few teeth

My dentist says the earlier the better so as soon as they get teeth. Mostly just so they get used to it

Took my son at 13 months

I didn’t know we were supposed to take him to a dentist . We brush his teeth often.

I took mine at 12 months. They just look at the teeth to make sure everything looks ok and then quickly clean them with a toothbrush and show you how to properly brush their teeth

I took my son at 6 months and again at 12 months.

My son has his first appt in February. But his dentist is a member at our church, so she did check his teeth when they first started coming in. Even gave fluoride

My ped told me to go when she’s 2

Taking mine at about 18 months

Hi, I’m a dental assistant. Typically at my office, we like to see to see them when they get their first tooth. Some offices say when they turn one. They should be having checkups every 6 months to get them used to seeing the dentist. It makes it easier for us in the long run. My son had his first check up at 6 months and again at 1 year, his next check up is coming up in April.

Took mine last week, she’s 16 months 😁 she’s got almost 10 teeth
