Some people get nervous when you mention going to the dentist, but there's no need to worry. Dentists are trained health helpers! Most people go to the dentist at least once a year for a check-up. This will include a cleaning. But dentists do much more than clean teeth. They may need to fill a cavity or pull a tooth, but they know how to do it with the least pain possible. Most importantly, they will talk to you about dental health to make sure you're doing all you can to keep your teeth healthy. Photographs of kids at the dentist are sure to help readers stay focused.
