2 yrs is usually when dentists start seeing toddlers.

When they get the first tooth. My baby went at 6 months and when she turn a year.

Mine told me like 2.5-3 but to brush 2 times a day, keep an eye on teeth, if anything looks off then to come in but they said if they don’t let me put fingers in her mouth they aren’t gunna let a stranger do to 😂

Everyone keeps telling me wait until 2

When they get their first tooth!

I was recommended before 12 months or when he got his first tooth. We went at 12 months.

I took my daughter after she turned 1 but it should’ve been when she got her first tooth at 4 months.

I’ve been told 2 from almost everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️

We went when my some turned one he already had 8 teeth by then too

We went when mine turned one but she has a mouthful of teeth. They don’t do much though they just look and answer questions and tell you if they notice problems

I took mine when he had about 4teeth or so around when he was 9-10month old.

6 months after the first tooth! Where I'm from the dentist is free under 2 years old so I took mine at a year and next appointment is 18 months since it's free

@Ten Did they do anything at the appointment?

@Ashlyn And what did they do? Clean her teeth? She let them?

@Cathy checked for cavities behind her teeth and a cleaning.

The reason why people are told different things is because dentists and pediatricians do not agree on the answer. Dentists will tell you as soon as they get their first tooth, and pediatricians will tell you to wait longer. I’m personally going now, at 13 months.
