Lots of fun, dental facts.

Good book full of fun facts and dental trivia. My 9 year old liked it, but it is written a little wordy for my 5 year old. I really like that it has a trauma page with simple ways to treat dental emergencies. Not that I would ever want anyone to need that information, but it’s good to have it easy access. I also like how there is a lot more information on what happens outside the dental office than inside. Read more

Informative

Super cute! Great for parents that have a hard time getting their kids to brush their teeth. Also, gave kids new terminology to learn and what to do in emergencies regarding their teeth. There is also a step by step on how to brush your teeth. Must have for children! I used this book for a Teaching assignment so I didn't read it to any children, but I'm glad I got it for when I'm ready to have kids. Read more

It includes all aspects of dental health... how to brush, floss, effects of sugar, what to do in case of emergency, timeline of the eruption of teeth, etc. My students were very interested in the book. It appeals to all ages... elementary to adult! Read more

Dental Hygiene for the Very Young

I bought the Tooth Book to fulfill NYS requirements for health education as homeschoolers for third grade. I love Edward Miller's illustrations and the layout is nice as well. It's an easy read and I felt it held its own well in a genre that attempts to make complex and not always exciting topics interesting and fun for kids. Read more

Very cool info in this book!

This is a really neat book with lots of cool things to read about teeth. We bought this with the money the tooth fairy left for the first lost tooth. For the kid who was so fascinated by this process, the book was great. He's been learning a lot. Read more
