Between all of the bright lights, loud noises, and unfamiliar faces, it might be quite a lot for a young child to handle. But did you know that you can turn toward books to help assuage their fears and prepare them for everything that a dental visit entails? Here are five popular book ideas that you should consider picking up and reading with your child if they\u2019re feeling uneasy about dental care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Crocodile and the Dentist <\/em>by Taro Gomi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of people are afraid of their dentist \u2013 but this book turns this notion upside down, and instead, follows a dentist who\u2019s quite afraid of his patient, who just so happens to be a crocodile! Your child will appreciate hearing both sides of the story \u2013 plus it will teach them that dentists are regular people too, with plenty of their own fears!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Doctor De Soto <\/em>by William Steig<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctor De Soto is a mouse with a knack for dentistry, and with the help of his wife, he\u2019s able to treat all sorts of animal patients. In fact, he\u2019s so good that his patients never feel pain at all! However, he\u2019s faced with a challenge when a fox, his very own natural predator, turns up with a terrible toothache. Nonetheless, his lovable demeanor can help paint all dentists in a more positive light in your child\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Tooth Book: A Guide to Healthy Teeth and Gums<\/em> by Edward Miller<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This picture book lays out what your child can expect when they go to the dentist with big, bright colors and cartoony images \u2013 which will immediately grip your child\u2019s attention! The author also offers plenty of pointers for taking care of teeth, along with fun facts, interesting history, and heartfelt anecdotes. After flipping through its pages, your child will certainly feel better not just about visiting the dentist, but also about taking care of their teeth at home on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist<\/em> by Stan &amp; Jan Berenstain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Berenstain Bears family has been around for decades, and you might\u2019ve grown up having their stories read to you. In this classic tale, the family takes a trip to see the dentist, and everyone sits through a thorough checkup and teeth cleaning. It shows that routine preventive care isn\u2019t scary at all \u2013 in fact, it can be quite the opposite, filled with laughter and fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Curious George Visits the Dentist<\/em> by Margret &amp; H.A. Rey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most adults are familiar with Curious George, the sweet, lovable, and sometimes mischievous monkey who goes on all sorts of adventures and escapades with the man in the yellow hat. In this instance, George discovers his first loose tooth \u2013 but he quickly learns that there\u2019s nothing to fear when it comes to the dentist\u2019s office!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental care is a lifelong endeavor, and the sooner your child becomes accustomed to visiting the dentist and caring for your smile, the better off their teeth and gums will be for the foreseeable future. If certain books can help with this, it\u2019s a no-brainer to curl up on the couch with your little one and get to reading! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team here at Simply Pediatric Dentistry &amp; Orthodontics has proudly served families in Pelham and the surrounding communities for several years, offering a wide range of dental and orthodontic services for children of all ages!
