1st dental eval: The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests the first pediatric dental visit be at 1 year of age or 6 months after the first tooth eruption. In reality, most pediatric dentists start scheduling at around 2 years old unless there are issues such as cavity, pain, bleeding or broken teeth.

Now: your son is at the proper age for his first dental visit. You should be brushing his teeth at least twice a day. Remember to limit sippy cups to mealtimes. Any other times put water in it. Enjoy motherhood.
