Stories provide a natural way to share life's events with others, especially children. Through stories, anecdotes, and tales we can let children know what to expect during a new experience and help them prepare for the new adventures that life can hold for them.
This idea most certainly holds true for the events that all children face for the first time, such the first visit to the dental office.
Children who are prepared for that first appointment and know what to expect tend to have positive experiences. Children's stories can be a positive way to allow children to explore and learn about the activities that are part of first experiences. This story, Tickle My Teeth, is a free e-book that details a dental check-up for children between the ages of 4 and 8.
