6 months for an introduction, cleaning, and check up! He went back for a real cleaning at 18 months.

I asked my dentist the same question the other day when my 5 year old was having a check up and she said as soon as they can sit in a dentist chair happily and open their mouth without fuss. I then took my 2 year old for his check up. In Australia the age is from 12 months. Oh and like felicia marie, My son also had a root canal from a random genetically bad tooth. So the earlier the better!

My dentist also said 3 unless you see problems prior to that, or you want your child to get used to them. I took my son for the first time at 3 and he has perfect teeth with no cavities or problems! I won`t be scheduling my daughter until she`s 3 unless I see a problem.

I remember taking my oldest two in at 1 1/2, 2 years. (we lived in Kansas City then) 3 seems like such an old age. The lady said by 3 they can sit still in the chair. ????? Sarah is 15 months and will sit still if you tell her to.

My little girl went in with us when she was 6 months old so that the dentist (A great family friend) could take a look at her gums and make sure all was well. he didn`t do any poking around or anything like that, but I think it`s best to let her know the process and that the dentist is nothing to be scared of.

My daughter`s first dentist appointment was at 11 months (they did a free check-up for babies younger than 1 year old... she had 4 teeth at the time). Her next appointment is in 2 weeks, at 17 months old (and she has 10 teeth now).

I took my daughter with me when she was 18 months for her first visit. It was what they called a happy visit, where they just look at her teeth, get her used to them looking in her mouth. They said it would be a good idea to bring her with me every 6 months when I get my cleanings done, so when she`s actually ready for her 1st real cleaning she will know what`s up at the dentist lol!
