A jolly book about teeth with pictures of highly photogenic children, along with diagrams and little comic characters who help explain facts. Large print makes the information clear, and there are explanations of what teeth do, the various kinds of teeth we all have and their special jobs, all about milk teeth and adult teeth, how food can help or harm teeth, how to brush, the importance of seeing the dentist twice a year and why some people need braces. An excellent choice for the dental surgery. While cavities and what causes them are explained, there is more emphasis on teeth in general and how to keep them healthy. A glossary and an index, as well as activities for children will make this useful in schools.
