It says to when he/she gets their first tooth... when did you take yours to the dentist. My little guy is nine months... so I am wondering if that is too young! --------------------

Karlee has to start alot earlier due to problems with her teeth but JP started at 3 and was fine. I think 9 months is a little young. -------------------- Karen mommy to JP and Karlee

It'll be his first visit. His teeth are very nice and straight, and we brush them 2x a day so I figure he's ok with just going now... I hope anyway! --------------------

She'll go with DH one time as well before the dentist actually does anything with her. He says this is so she doesn't get afraid. He will check her teeth in advance if we notice any problems, which we haven't. -------------------- *~Karen~* wife to hubby, Ryan Douglas mommy to Kylie (9) and Megan (6.5) and furbabies Gavin, Buster, Sox, and Hailey
