We checked this book out at the library a few weeks before my three year old daughter's 1st dental visit. We read it several times and then like the girl in the book we brought along a stuffed animal who could open his mouth wide. We practiced counting his teeth like the girl in the book. The visit went very well, thanks to being prepared for what would happen. The book is great for little ones. I don't think you need to own it though. Just see if you can check it out at the library.

This book has proven very helpful in preparing my 2.5-year-old daughter for her first trip to the dentist. The pictures are realistic and detailed enough to show her the lay of the land for the dentist's office. The step-by-step description of the dental visit are also helpful. I took a star off because the book takes a lecturing tone about candy and soda, neither of which my daughter consumes in the first place, so we have to skip that part of the book. The book also describes pink mouthwash, which my daughter's dentist doesn't do, so we skip that piece as well. Overall, though, there's never going to be a one-size-fits-all book, and this book comes pretty darn close.

I bought this before my 2 yr old's first trip to the dentist. It served as a great introduction, including standard procedure: waiting in the waiting room, meeting the dental hygienist and dentist, and sitting in the chair for the exam. It also shows the tools and instruments used to clean and examine the teeth and gives brushing and general hygiene tips.

Though we don't read it every week, 1.5 yrs later it is still in her bookshelf. We still read it before and after going to dentist appointments, as well as other random times. I'm definitely glad we have it as a reference for my older daughter and plan to read it to my one year old before her first appt, whenever that is.
