At what age did you first need dental care for your baby? Sorry if this seems silly but I really have no idea, and I want to make sure I have insurance before we need it.
wow, I'm surprised how young. Ok, so then should I get dental or vision coverage right at birth then, or can I save some money and wait til he's a year old? I'm 29 week preg with him now.

you can take them as soon as they have teeth. but usual first visits are around 2 years. just make sure to take care of baby's teeth!

I got my son medical, dental and vision right away. There is no telling when he might need dental and vision.. they have their eyes tested again at age 6 months. They teeth at 5-7 months, so I'd have all my bases covered even this early if it were me.

Adding to your comment, I'd get it right at birth instead of waiting. Vision and dental are very inexpensive coverages so why wait and risk that something could go wrong. Your baby may have to have eye surgery or have something wrong with an incoming tooth well before a year. Why risk it?

I actually asked my dentist about this when my oldest was a baby. She said, "People bring their kids in here when they first start getting teeth. But I think it's kind of silly to have their teeth checked before they even have all their teeth, don't you?" She told me to wait until my kids had 20 teeth (about 3 years old) before I worried too much about dental checkups.
