in all honesty I didn't know you could take your kids to the dentist when they 1st got teeth.. thought they needed to be older(3-4)

my child is 3 yrs old and NEVER seen a dentist.. I wonder why her pedi never told me to take her! I feel terrible 😕..

well got my babies a new pedi and taking her to her 1st ever dentist appointment next week.. wish us luck! 😫

Oh no neglect! @mommybug new moms don't just know these things! Pedis should tell parents these things! If it wasn't for this app I wouldn't know things as well

@santistevanmommie I'm not really sure why I thought 3-4 yrs.. i guess because they are older and might be less fussy .. idk but i do feel so bad like its a form of neglect! and i just really didnt know.. now to find an eye doctor for her..

I just asked about this! Someone told me 2yrs old! I'm glad you posted this because now I'll take her in sooner. Same for her eyes! I didn't know it was supposed to be at 6 months! @arivera64 I'll definitely be taking her in for that too

one of our friends works in a dentist office that takes kids and adults and she told me you make their first appointment when they get their first tooth as well. my son is 10 months with 6 teeth and i said his pediatrician never ssid anything to me about it. i was so confused.

Yeah I saw some like 1-2 year olds at my dentist, I thought the same thing though until I seen them, that you didn't need to take them till a bit older. I guess we know now. But yeah your pediatrician should of informed you! Glad you got a new one.

@arivera64 eye dr at 1yr? her father and I both need glasses and a lot of my family members.. I just don't get why her pedi didn't suggest it or recommend it seeing as I was a ftm!..

@mommybug, They just looked at her teeth, asked the brushing routine and gave her a goodie bag 😋 I'm sure it will be !

My daughter went when she was a little over a year and it went pretty easy; only time I've ever seen my child sit so still! (Lol) So hopefully her visit will be a piece of cake! 😌
