Has your child gone to the dentist yet?

Question

I forgot to add my son to my work’s dental plan during open enrollment!! Is ok to not take him to the dentist until he’s 3, once I can get him on the insurance?

Answer

Our pediatrician said regular dentists won’t even see kids until 3. They put fluoride on my LOs teeth at her 2 year checkup.

Answer

Mine is 27months and has gone twice.  At the appointments all they've done is check for cavities, see which teeth have come out already and they put fluoride at his last appointment. Honestly though I think you'll be ok if you just brush his teeth regularly.

Answer

I’d wait in my opinion. As long as you have a stable brushing routine (2x per day, and start offering/introducing flossing), you’ll be okay. I brought my daughter, but she wanted nothing to do with the dentists. They said that’s normal, and to just keep up on the brush routine.
Maybe bring your LO with to one of your appointments (obviously with someone else with you as well) just to get them familiar with the setting and everyone there ☺️

Answer

My son started getting teeth at 3 months old. He’s getting two fillings tomorrow. In some cases some little kids get really bad decay and I’m glad we are taking care of them now.

Answer

I had to take my son. He had terrible GERD when he was a baby and they think that's what caused damage to his teeth and enamel and he ended up with terrible cavities. He had to be put under for general anesthesia and get 4 root canals and crowns and 6 fillings.
