When is a good time to get him to the dentist? He has 7 teeth now, should I go ahead and schedule an appt? When did you take your kids to the dentist for the first time? Thanks!

I think I took my girls when they were 2 years old. I would just call your dentist and ask them when a good time would be. If your dentist is not kid friendly ask them for a recommendation to one that is or just ask around.

I believe they say once they get 1 tooth you should take them in.
I do not do this though.
I waited till my son was about 4.
I made sure he brushed 2 times a day since I did not take him in till so late in his age.
I will take Dalton in after he turns 2.
