This book describes the activity of going to the dentist for a check-up using 12 simple clear pictures.
There is a visual of a clock used to show we have to wait in the waiting room. The waiting room can be difficult and I found it useful to bring the Going to the Dentist book with us to show the stage/picture we were at.
I also find it helpful to use the book as a prompt to ‘play dentist’ at home. You can often borrow the gloves or some of the other bits the dentist uses in advance so that you can help your child become more familiar with the feel and smell of what they will find when they visit the dentist. The book also provides for an opportunity to talk about the importance of brushing your teeth everyday.
