For both our kids, we brought them to our adult check-ups to get them used to the process, starting at age two years. As soon as they turned 3 years old, they started on their own 6 month schedules. It was never any problem. They are comfortable there and actually get excited about going. AND...they both have terrificly clean teeth and good dental habits!

just getting them used to visiting dentist by: Anonymous
Hi,
I feel that if you need to get your kid to visit a dentist, the primary reason should be getting the child used to the idea of visiting one.
This will help your child feel more at ease when he needs to visit one in the future.
The first two years, in my opinion, probably is not that critical when it comes to visiting a dentist. I know dentist themselves may disagree but this is my opinion.

Visit a dentist soon by: Jean Morgan
My kid had her first tooth when she was about 7 months. I did not brought her to a dentist though. But a dentist friend of mine told me that its advisable to visit once the child grows his/her first tooth because you'll want to know if its healthy or not.
My child is now three years old and i still have not bring her to a dentist yet. :( yaya....i guess i am held responsible now. Her teeth are now a bit wider at the bottom. Perhaps i will bring her to a dentist soon....
