By: Elaine K Harper

It is four-year-old Emery's first time going to the dentist, and she is a little nervous! Emery shares her story of going to the dentist and how her mom, cousin, and hygienist help her overcome her fear and find the fun!

My First Trip to the Dentist is not only meant to help children on their first trip to the dentist but is an introduction for parents into the world of holistic dentistry, which avoids many unnecessary chemicals and is a combination of mouth and gut health. At the end of the book is some information for parents such as a teeth growth chart and how to research holistic solutions to issues such as teething. Educational for both child and parent, My First Trip to the Dentist is sure to be a fun and valuable story for the whole family.
