Books can be incredibly helpful in getting a child ready for all sorts of life events, including a visit to the dentist. When kids see their favorite characters happily visiting the dentist, it helps put a positive spin on it. It can be hard to choose from all the wonderful books out there on the topic, so here are a few to get you started:
