My SIL is a hygienist and is freaky about teeth She recently took her daughter (nearly 2) for her first checkup. It was just about familiarisation, the chair, the room etc. He didn't even look in her mouth!!
I think the biggest thing will be you staying calm. Milo will pick up if you are stresesed and he will misbehave! So take a deep breath, and as long as you haven't been feeding him lollies by the truckload, and juice out of a bottle, I'm sure he will be OK.
God no! he has barely had any juice ever, he only started drinking it about 3 weeks ago, from a cup. And lollies are a rarity, and then only when someone other than DH and I sneaks them in with out us knowing.
I don't know about pediatric dentists but we also just took DS for his first visit to the dentist (while DH and I went for check ups too). The dentist was great. DH went in with Jack while I waited in the waiting room with the baby. Apparently the dentist easily put Jack at ease and he opened his mouth when asked and was happy for the mirror to be put in etc. He loved the experience, especially when he was given a sticker and a tooth brush! Now he asks to go back to the dentist LOL!! I am sure Milo will be fine too.
