First dentist visit

[MrsC]

I have my first appointment with a new dentist here today. I'll see what they're like and ask if they see kids. I know there's one other place in town that sees a lot of little ones but they're not peds specifically. It's a pity the peds one is so far away but we'll go there if it seems best.
The fluoride drops are because our town doesn't add fluoride to the water. He's great for letting us brush his teeth and they look good.

I'm thinking we need to switch to a Ped for the kids, SJ who do you see? Heaven knows we're looking at big dental bills in the future.

SS are we taking our kids to the same dentist?

I doubt it - we currently take ours to Dr. Wooddy - he's great but only does cleanings for kids so if they need anything else I have to take them to a ped anyway. Like when R had to have his pulled. A is starting to loose teeth (maybe they've been loose for EVER!) but she's probably 99% assured of needing braces or something so I'm thinking I should just switch them now. I hear Dr. Aarons is very good.

We went at 1 (well, like 15 mos) because our ped recommended it and our insurance paid for it. Pediatric dentist. Went fine. And I was going to suggest you check on the status of fluoridated water in your area, but it sounds like you've got that covered.
