How old are you when you first visit a dentist?

i visited dentist only twice in my life time.that too on same year.but it was more than 10 years back. i just remember the words that my grandma and mother warned to me brush teeth before drinking or eating. if not all my tooths will fell soon and i will become an old man. hearing that i was afraid and started brushing daily (Trust me)

I went to the dentist when I was 12 I believe, it was then I had issues with my 'baby' tooth which were not dropping properly and it caused a lot of pain. I saw many articles which recommends going to the dentist twice every year to ensure proper dental hygiene. Yes, I was darn scared when I went onto the dentist's chair, it got worse when the person stuck poking foreign metal objects into my mouth. But in the end of the day, there was not much pain. Overall, it was a nice experience. I hope your child did too :)

I remember way back then, when I was a kid,I was about 6 years old that time. my mom saw a "sungki" (I don't know the English term for it.), then we went to dentist for my mom doesn't want me to have "sungki".. and I came from a family with a nice teeth...

Hi friend, I went to a dentist when i was 7 years old.I think it is my last visit.I was slightly nervous about it.I went to take my double tooth which came in front.Its really a nice experience which i never forget till today.Hehehehehe.........

i cant remember really. i think i was like 8 yrs old or so. i was so afraid of the dentist as i was terrifed of needles. i used to remember my dad has to bribe me for 100 pesos just to take me to the dentist. 100 pesos was a lot of money then lol

In my twenty five years age I did't met the dentist till now. But I saw so many people suffer with tooth pain. But I went the dental hospital with my friend to her checkup. At that time I saw the dentist chair. Really I am afraid of that dental chair and I fell little bit nervous.

I think I was about five when I first visited a dentist. I had cavities even then--I have soft teeth, and we lived in Vancouver, Canada and the water was quite soft. That was before fluoridation. I have had many visits since then, but now that I am older, what teeth I have still left have been crowned and capped. They did not get fluoride until I was well in my teens, and so it did not do any good then. I am still nervous about the drill. Cannot stand the noise and think that he is going to slip.

i think i was 7 when i first meet the dentist!hehehe i was in first grade then.. we have this annual check up with the school dentist. he clean our teeth and teached us how to brush them properly!:) i never feel scared of the dentist and i can sit on that chair without feeling uncomfortable too..hehehe i dont know.. i was a brave kid then.. and i still have that brave kid's soul until now!:)

In fact, I can not remember the exact time. May be when i am 14 years old. i visited dentist to extract a tooth for there are two teeth grown in the same place.i felt nervous when the dentist got close to me and put the nippers into my mouth. Terrible experience!

I went before I was kindergarten. It was on my pediatricians recommendation. I think that is a pretty standard age. My daughter went the 1st time at 4.

I'm not too sure about it but I think I went to the dentist for the first time when I was 8 yrs old to remove one of my tooth which was shaking. I really get nervous when I visit the dentist when I see the gloves,the knives and certain other surgical instruments they use. Will close my eyes tightly till I am done with it. But the bestest part of visiting a dentist is that we can eat a lot of ice creams since the doctor will ask as to have something really cold Cheers

when i was first admitted into my college in the january 2008,i was suffering from some dental diseases.i could not drink cold water,ice cream,tea and some other foods .one of my friend suggest me to go to a dentist and take advice about dental diseases how to prevent as like as this diseases.i was then 20 years old.according to my friend's suggestion i went to a dentist and he adviced me to brush my teeth regularly.he also suggest me to take medicine everyday.as it was for the first time for me to go to a dentist i feel nervousness.

I think i was about 7 years old when i first visited a dentist. I do not like to go to a dentist as it seems very scary but i has no choice at that time because it is compulsory from my school. I still remember the moment i reach the dental clinic, i cried non stop and it was so embarassing.

i was ten when i first visited a dentist, because the school sent us to a dentist visit, that really was my first time.

i was 12 years old when my first visit to dentist. Before, i was afraid of sending me to dentist. I don't know why but now if i could only visit my dentist everyday i will do it. But i don't think it would be possible. But as much as possible i would visit my dentist every three months.

When i was about 7 years old. I clearly remember the day my father took me to the dentist's. He picked me up as usual but something unusual happened, he bought me snack. Then, he brought me to the dentist's. That was really terrible for me!

i never visited dentist....... i hadnt had any complications with ma teeth...bt i would get scared if i had to visit

i had my first visit to the dentist when i was only 5 years old. i had tooth extraction. i was given anaesthesia. but the needles were really big as i remember it. and they had inserted it so many times. i was just in pain. and that gave me big scare of the dentist. so from that time on my second visit i was already 13 years old. and it didn't hurt as on my first time cause on the second time they have only used the injection once to give anaesthesia. i don't know why on my first one they have to use the needle so many times before they extracted the tooth. it was really painful for a boy like me then to experience such painful tooth extraction.

i never visited dentist till. It may be surprise but fact is that i didnt develp any tooth problem till and I was in no need of a dentist till now. Hope my teeth will remain the same and I will never visit a dentist , but is the possible ?

Err....i hate visiting dentisit!! It always hurts. As my memory recall, maybe 5years old.Just sitting outside waiting for your turn is scary enough.
