First Dentist Visit

[claresaunders]

Dear all,
I am wondering when is the best time to schedule my daughter's first dentist appointment. (She is 20 months old) It's one of these things you can leave it a bit longer or get on to it straight away.
I've heard some kids start at 18 months and some not till 3 yrs old. Mine will scream for sure if she goes to see one so i am not too sure if i am meant to put her through that trouble if it's not necessary.
Also do you know any good dentist for little kids?

Thanks
Clare

Hi Clare,
It depends in the baby. Usually not until 2years old but that also depends on how many teeth they have. I have a great recommendation for a dentist... Dr. Wu. He is awesome, best dentist I've ever had! He currently is at Costello Brother's Dentistry but is opening up his own practice in a month or so on Queen's Toad Central (building above the new Zara).
Cheers, Sarah
