  Re: POLL: dentist Reply Contact Well, we haven't yet, bc I'm procrastinating.  They say that its a good idea to take them in starting around 2 yrs now, bc it gets them used to the setting...kind of like having well-visits.  Then, when real things start happening, like cleaning, they don't freak out as much.   I haven't done it yet, for either of the boys...shame on me.  But, then again, I really have no worries for them.  They both are addicted to brushing their teeth (and I help) and are in good shape there.

Wow, 4 or 5?  That's late!  Our pediatric dentist's office now recommends age 1!    I think that's far too young.  We waited 'til age 3 for Aiden but took L when he turned 2.  I think we'll do the same for Madison, even though I never had concerns w/ any of the kids' teeth.
