Items related to Did Dinosaurs Have Dentists?
What if a brachiosaurus needed braces? If a tyrannosaurus used toothpaste, would it squash the tube? A young child on the way to a dental checkup wonders if dinosaurs ever had cavities and if they had to brush their teeth, floss, get braces, and use fluoride or mouthwash. This whimsical picture book includes eleven common terms related to dental and oral health, along with a glossary of name pronunciations and fun, scientific facts about each of the eleven dinosaurs mentioned in the story. It takes an imaginative, humorous look at dinosaurs' dental health and eases children's fears about going to the dentist, while cleverly encouraging them to take care of their own teeth.

From the Author:
The idea for "Did Dinosaurs Have Dentists" came while I was taking my youngest son to have a cavity filled. He was scared, dreading the drill, and kept trying to convince me that he'd be fine if we just "let it go." Not wanting to delve into Disney tune territory, and unwilling to run all his food through a blender for the foreseeable future, I played around with a little alliteration to occupy his mind. It worked wonders, and I soon found myself jotting notes on a cell phone while we sat in the waiting room.
Within a few weeks those notes turned into a first draft, and I read it to my captive audience. My boys each gave me two thumbs (and two big toes) up. With positive reviews like that, I went in search of an illustrator.
I was doubly blessed when I discovered Erik Mehlen -- one, because he's a fantastic artist and not only got my vision, but improved upon it; and two, because it turns out that Erik is a nephew I never knew I had. But that, as they say, is a story for another time ...
