She has not seen a dentist yet. Age three is when my dentist starts to see kids, so we'll probably take her sometime this year -- but my understanding is that it's more just a "getting to know the dentist" kind of visit to make kids comfortable with it, rather than some huge cleaning thing.
We honestly have held Suzannah down a couple of times -- but generally if she's had a rare sugary/sticky treat or something and I know there's all kinds of junk on her teeth. And if we're supposed to do that four times a day we're definitely screwed. (Although at this point I kind of feel like we should be doing it in the mornings too. We'll work on that.)
