First dentist appointment?

Question

What age does a child need to be taken to their first dentist appointment?

Answer

I work at a dentists office. We typically don't see children until they are 3-4 years old unless there is an issues. Even then it's best to start with a pedo office. They are usually better equipped to see children than a general dentist is.

Answer

My dentist said around 3-4 years of age.  He however recommended bringing my son in when I get a cleaning.  That way when he's older, seeing all the dental equipment and all isn't scary because he's been around it before. He said it works with his patients.
