We high recommend this book for our young patients before their first visit to the dentist. Barney helps remove any fears a child may have regarding their first dental visit. This book contains many good pictures to help explain what will happen during the visit.

This is a great book for your child to get to see the inside of the Dentist Office and not be afraid because Barney is there. Great tool for the teachers or Dental Professional to use to talk with small children for Childrens Dental Health Month. (Febuary)

Even though the age for this book is from 4-8, my 2 year old loves it. She asks to read, "Barney Dentist" all of the time, even though she has about 15 other Barney books. I hope it will help her to not be afraid of the dentist when it comes her time to go.

My son is 2 and LOVES this book - don't know why. Did I say LOVE? I should have said OBSESSED, really, really, absolutely OBSESSED with this book - he asked for it constantly, which is wonderful (I LOVE that he loves it) because we read it everyday several times a day in preparation for his first dental visit, and that visit went fantastically well. This book is made up of photos of Ashley and her mom with Barney going to the dentist, being in the waiting room, sitting in the chair, having an xray, getting her teeth cleaned, and then leaving. It shows some instruments, the metal explorer pick and the little mirror, and all of these photos are exactly what my son encountered at the dentist. Even details like the bid he wore at the dentist or the gloves and mask the dentist wore are shown in the book, so he totally was grooving to it all because he was proud that he could tell the dentist what the dentist was doing. We even took the book with us to the dentist and as he was put into the chair we showed the page in this Barney book and said "Look, just like Ashely, you get to sit in the special chair!". The visit went extremely well, and we emphasized the book even after the visit to reinforce the 'pleasentness' of dentist visits and prepare him for next time. I highly recommend this book and wish there were more like it out there. I think the reality photos are more helpful as tools rather than the drawings of bears going to dentists. I did just order the 'smile wide look inside' book by Dember-paige as it too is photographs.

this is the BEST dentist book i have yet to get for my son! He loves it,and I do too!

The 'real' pictures are an added bonus and everything is done just right!

You won't be dissapointed!
