My first was a late bloomer didn’t get teeth until after a year old. I didn’t take him tell 2 and a half. But apparently you’re supposed to as soon as they get teeth? My youngest is 16 months and has a lot of teeth. We take care of them and he doesn’t have any problems. And I’m feeling guilty for not taking him yet. But I cannot see him being able to sit in a chair and let them look at his teeth much less do a cleaning. It’s pain for me to even brush them. If he doesn’t have any dental problems, does he need to go this early?
