Hedgy Visits the Dentist

Designed as an extra-large, ring-bound book ideal for easy prop-up use and group reading, this vibrant book uses gentle storytelling to prepare preschool and primary-aged children for a dental visit. By walking children through exactly what they will see, hear, and do at the clinic, it proactively eases anxieties, reduces sensory overwhelm, and builds confidence. 

Beyond the dentist chair, the book acts as an active teaching tool for establishing great hygiene habits at home or in class. It breaks down oral care into five clear steps for healthy teeth and gums, making it highly effective for early learning. 

Interactive elements built directly into the book include:

Engaging Story: demystifies the dental clinic, showing kids what to expect.

Step-By-Step Visual Guide: illustrates the best brushing techniques for a healthy smile.

Tactile Finger Maze: a physical activity that reinforces the 5 core steps to healthy teeth. 

Rhyming Instructions and Rap song Link: Catchy rhymes paired with a web link to a toothbrushing rap song so children can sing, dance, and brush along!

Every routine, instruction, and safety tip inside this book carefully conforms to the UK National Toothbrushing Guidelines (2025), ensuring parents, teachers, and health practitioners can trust its educational value. Perfect for nursery schools, primary classrooms, and clinic waiting rooms!
