I would ask your pediatrician what he/she recommends. My pediatrician (as well as my dentist) said to wait until my daughter was 3. At that time, they are mature enough to sit still in the dentist chair and understand what is going on. Of course, if there is a dental problem (like your child is in an accident and hurts his mouth) or your child has other dental issues, you should go sooner.

I asked my dentist at my cleaning back in Jan. and he said they see kids at for the first time at 3 or 4 years old. That surprised me, seems like a long time to go before you see the dentist for the first time.

My little one is coming with me next week - he's 16 months. The dentist will let him have a ride in the chair, and a poke around at everything in the surgery and will TRY to count his teeth!! I'm having a scale and polish so he will see that.

Every book I have read has said by one year. If she's only got two teeth and they appear to be alright then I wouldn't worry about it. I just took my fourteen month old son recently because he somehow chipped his tooth. He's got eight teeth and I would of taken him anyway.

1 year she should have her first dental visit. Then, every year after that.
