1 year immunisations and dentist on the same day - bad idea?

Not sure this is the right place to ask, but I hope you will be able to help...

I have, by accident, booked DS’s 1 year immunisations on the same day as we both are going to the dentist.

Immunisation is at 10.30, dentist at 1.

Should I move one of the appointments or will it be fine?

Thanks in advance.

I'd say it'll be absolutely fine.
Dental check up for a toddler is nothing more than getting used to the dentist.
A sit in the dentist chair, a quick up and down in it for fun, a look at the instruments and getting him to open his mouth so the dentist can have a quick look.
I don't think mine even went to the dentist at one year old, they were older than that with more teeth.

Can't speak for everyone but mine didn't find the 1 year immunisations that bad. Didn't like it at the time but was happily at a class an hour later.

If the dentist was half an hour later if say no but with that time frame it'll be ok. As others say a check up at his age is really a quick look in his mouth and a sticker for being good.

Thank you for your inputs, I really appreciate them.

I decided to move the immunisations to next week as it will make it much easier as we’re walking to both appointments and either we will have to stay in town for a few hours, or go home and leave after 30 minutes to get to the second appointment.
