The first dental visit should be between age 1-2, since you are concerned about the white spots, you should have his teeth checked ASAP, it is your job as a parent to reassure him and help in making his first visit to the dentist a pleasant one, if you think he is very scared please consider a pediatric dentist.

I took all of my children at age 3 to the dentist. Also, what I found really great was to take them to a pediatric dentist. They are much more patient and often have tvs and drawings on the ceilings to keep their mind off things. I've heard the white stains could just be calcium deposits...don't quote me because I'm not a dentist...lol.
