This 24 page, 3 chapter book is a great way to help scared children work through their fear of going to the dentist through realistic fiction.

In Chapter 1 ” Problem Teeth” – Max is not looking forward to having the dentist pull his baby teeth to make room “so my grown-up teeth will come in straight.” In Chapter 2 ” Beyond Brave” – Max asks the dentist’s helper , “Can I get my prize first?” Then, walks to the dentist chair, is given a shot to numb his mouth, has two teeth pulled, and says,”That was so fast! And it hardly hurt!” In Chapter 3 ” The Best Part”- Max’s mother lets him pick out soft foods at the grocery store, puts his pulled teeth under his pillow for the tooth fairy, and plays with Zoe and the new toys/prizes from the dentist office.

Includes: 3 discussion questions, 3 writing prompts, a tooth box craft project, and www.facthound.com code.
