'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.

Almost everyone in the book is smiling (the exceptions being a nervous child on the “questions” page and the one who has a canker sore, or “ulcer”), but the book seeks to offer plenty of knowledge as well as comfort. Includes facts and explanations on equipment, procedures, typical tooth and gum conditions, dental personnel, tooth care and dental hygiene, and feelings and apprehensions. In this book, kids will learn important words. Using an alphabet format, the book offers 26 letter-specific entries that add up to a well-rounded portrait of what kids will experience when they go to the dentist. The facts range from the basics (explaining why a bib and dental chair are useful) to the more specialized (the different types of teeth and what a tooth is made of), while the slightly old-school illustrations (the dentist and orthodontist are both portrayed as white men, and their helpers are female) offer a variety of views of mouths and teeth, including one nice use of an actual X-ray. A trip to the dentists office is easy once you know the ABCs of it. When she is not writing, she commutes between her homes in Lincoln, Massachusetts and Maplewood, New Jersey.Liz Murphy was born and raised in England and attended the Kingston Art College, where she majored in graphic design. From A (“appointment”) to Z (“zillion times cleaner”), the bright, collage-filled pages feature facts about teeth and gums, assurances that a visit to the dentist won’t hurt too much, and images of children getting care from friendly dentists and hygienists.
