I am going to visit the dentist. The dentist helps keep my teeth clean and strong.


When we arrive, we say hello at the front desk.

We might wait for a little while. I can read a book or play.

Someone calls my name. We walk to a room with a big chair.

The big chair goes up and down and leans back. I might wear a bib to keep my shirt dry.

The dentist says hello. The dentist might wear a mask and gloves. That is okay.

I open my mouth wide, like a lion.

A tiny mirror helps the dentist see and count my teeth.

A soft spinning brush cleans my teeth. It might tickle or feel buzzy.

A puff of air and a little water rinse my teeth.

If I need a break, I can raise my hand.

When we finish, I might choose a sticker. I did it!
