Fun at the dentist

Did you know that the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that every child visit the dentist by the age of one to establish a “dental home”? I didn’t either, until I talked to my friends at Dr. Bob Testen’s dental practice.

Prepare for your next check-up by reading the interactive story, Visit the Dentist with Marty. And be sure to visit MouthPower, where you can play games and learn about dentistry and your teeth from Mouthie, the dancing, singing mouth!

That's a very good idea. Most kids fear dentists because they're afraid of toothaches and teeth extraction. But if they are, more or less, getting used to dental visits, then it will be less hectic for them. Regular visits to get the teeth cleaned can go a long way.
