What to Expect When You Go to the Dentist

Growing Up Just Got Easier...

With the help of Angus, the lovable Answer Dog, best-selling author Heidi Murkoff extends a hand to children and parents as they tackle life's first experiences together.

When you were growing up, chances are visiting the dentist wasn't your favorite thing to do. Luckily for your child there have been many changes around the dentist's office since your first visit -- changes that have made "opening up wide" a lot less scary and a lot more fun. We're here to explain who dentists are, what they do, why they use all those funny tools, and why regular visits to them can mean a healthier smile, so that your child can sit back, relax, and enjoy the checkup.

Have fun at the dentist!
