Pediatric dentist and vaccines

[BRmama]

I have to take my unvaxxed 16 mo to the dentist for the first time, and was wondering if the topic of immunization will come up at all. I know when I go to my dentist nothing like that comes up, but since he's a child and people put so much emphasis on children being vaxed (at least in my area) will I have any issues of that sort with the dentist? Should I look for a natural dentist who doesn't care about that just like we all do with pediatricians? Any input or advice is greatly appreciated. Tia

We just took dd1 for the first (and second) time and ours didn't ask at all, in person or on the paperwork.

Thanks Ishyfishie. That makes me more relieved

I was a little worried too, but they sent the paperwork in advance so that gave me some degree of relief! Can you ask them to do that?

We've never been asked and it hasn't been on any of the paperwork.

It was on our paperwork, but when I marked that they had none nobody said a word.

Thank you all for the replies. Thanks for the great idea, I'll be asking for the paperwork in advance.

We've been to about 9 dentists with ds (2.5) and I don't think I've ever been asked that. Why would a dentist care? I can't imagine the treatment would be any different at all.

Our new patient paperwork at our ped. dentist asked if vaccinations were current. I just left it blank and no one asked about it.

Ours didn't ask at all.
