Hi,

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) recommends that you start taking your child to the dentist when he / she turns 1 (12 months ).

Answer 2

Probably 2 or 3.

I can almost remember going when i was 4.

But i know my mom took me before then.

It's always good to go to the dentist.

And i think she's fine right now, about her eating habits, if I'm not mistaking her teeth are stronger than ours.

So just brush them on your own.

And go to walmart and look for the stages tooth brushes.

Answer 3

As soon as they are six months and showing some teeth. Dentist will recommend you to try and keep him or her off his pacifier. My baby girl was off her pacifier at this age.

Answer 4

My son was around 3 years old. Dentist usually recommend around the age of 3 or when they have all their teeth. Just try to keep up the brushing or let her just chew on a tooth brush. That 's what my 9 month old granddaughter is doing now. No sweets before bed time.
