Dentist Books for Preschoolers

February is National Children's Dental Month. I know visiting the dentist can be nerve-racking for kids and even some adults. Sometimes reading a book before visiting the dentist can help to ease any anxiety children experience. I have compiled a list of books  you can use to have conversations about visiting the dentist.
