Inhaltsangabe

This children's book is an introduction to the experience of a first visit to the dentist as well as to the importance of oral hygiene for young children (such as brushing and flossing teeth). If children start going to the dentist early in life, they will develop a positive relationship with that experience as well as good oral health. Parents can read this book to their children before a visit to the dentist to help them be prepared and know what to expect from a visit to the dentist. In addition, this book may help parents in developing a routine for oral hygiene with their children when they are young: to brush and floss their teeth, and to have a positive experience when going to the dentist. It is the hope of the author that this book can be shared with families and also with schools to help children of all ages (starting in preschool settings) develop the good health practice of brushing their teeth not just at home but also at school.
