Do you take your children to the dentist on a regular basis?

yes! we go ever 2 months. typical in pediatric dentists here. they get a cleaning, check for any shadowing, any minor treatment trying to prevent any major treatment. we pay a fee per year for the service and we can go as often as we want. some parents go every month!

we found this dentist too late for my oldest son's teeth becuase the previous dentist was not filling some cavities as to not traumatize him and I finally got VERY frustrated and changed.

Yes :).  My ped. told me to start taking Caden at age of 4.  We did and he already had 6 pre-cativites!!!!  He has deep-pitted molars, so no matter how much brushing/flossing/eating good foods it wouldn't have mattered :/.  So, he just got his sealants in a few weeks ago :).  He was a champ :)

We do.  Just went on 2/14.  Happy Valentine's Day to them!  LOL.  We take them every 6 months for cleaning and if something is bothering them, we take them to have it checked out.  They have both been going since they were 2 years old.

yep every six months. My oldest had one pre cavity taken care of at his last visit. Which shocked me cause they brush/floss and mouthwash atleast three times a day.. But their dad has super weak teeth :-(

My first one I listened to my dentist WHO APPARENTLY IS A MORON and waited until he was 3 to take him.  Max had been having acid reflux going on we weren't aware of.  He had 4 cavities on the cheek pouch sides of his lower molars from acidic saliva pooling there when he slept.  :{  And then my dentist who calls himself a family dentist wouldn't even do the work.  Grrrrr.  I had to take him to a pediatric dentist who said that he wants kids in there for their first appointment between 12-18 months old so you can spot problemd early and avoid cavities.  So I had Ike at the dentist at 15 months for his first appointment.  Turns out his upper lip frenulem is too tight making it difficult to get the gumline on either side of the frenulum brushed well.  There was some plaque build up along his upper gumline.  He snipped it right then and there.  They are seen every 6 months without fail since then.
