Hannah goes to the dentist ISBN: 9781903275030
Clive and Dorman, Helen
Published by CP Publishing, 2000
This is super preparation for a first visit to the dentist. Each step is taken so clearly and in such detail that it should be highly reassuring. First we are introduced to all the people we will meet in the story. Then we see a shy Hannah arriving at the surgery with mum. Hannah isn't at all sure she wants to go to the dentist, and when she and mum go in to see her, mummy must sit in the chair with Hannah on her lap at first. Soon, however, Hannah is happy to sit in the chair on her own, and all the usual procedures are shown. There follows two pages of information about teeth and how to clean them, and another two pages showing us Hannah using disclosing tablets. A further page for parents gives systematic information on helping children brush their teeth. A really fine production. Can be bought online at www.childrensproject.co.uk.
