This book is fantastic for helping prepare children to go to the dentist. The sentences are short and easy to follow. There are lots of pictures of real kids on each page showing exactly what happens at the dentist – the chair you sit in, dentists and dental assistants, the bib you wear, the tools they use, etc. The final two pages have helpful tips specifically for parents. I would recommend reading this book to any kid who has to go to the dentist to help prepare them and ease their nerves.
