** spoiler alert ** I thought this was a very informative book for my 8-year-old to learn more about his teeth. My 4-year-old sat through some of it but he was a little bored. The book talks about . . . . Animals and their teeth. It has 10 animals (dog, cat, croc, rat, horse, pig, wild pig, snake, elephant, walrus, and a duck) and gives a brief description of each one (When a crocodile's mouth is closed, its teeth are on the outside). The timeline of your teeth from before birth to age 13. The inside of a tooth. What it's like to lose your first tooth and what other countries do when they lose a tooth (In Greece, India, and China, kids throw lost teeth over the roofs of their homes.) Different permanent teeth (incisors, canines, bicuspids, molars). Tooth decay. How to brush properly (in circles, not up and down). When and how to floss. What will happen during a routine dental check-up. What to eat to keep your teeth healthy. Steps to take if you have a toothache, knocked-out permanent tooth, broken tooth or bleeding gums. It recapped with a list of things to do, and not to do.
