The AAP now recommend children go to the dentist around their 1st birthday.  Soooo off we went.  Max currently has 6 teeth(one more is close to coming in).  When we got called back and I set Max down on the table he started to realize something was up.  After answering questions re: Juice(we don't give him juice), Bottles(he stopped drinking from one at 6mo), and Brushing teeth(apparently it is also recommended to use just a smear of fluoride tooth paste instead of fluoride free) Max had to lay down.  Well first of all he hates to lay down, and second some new scary woman was touching his mouth...he was NOT a fan.  The other hygienist and I held him while she quickly brushed his teeth, looked at them, and painted on fluoride.  Then he got a balloon and rattle so he was happy again.  The dentist came by and took another quick look and we were done!
