Alley Alligator's Awesome Smile

ALLEY ALLIGATOR'S AWESOME SMILE, colorfully illustrated by J. Frank Weatherbee, was written by pediatric dentist Timothy McNutt, Sr., to present pediatric preventive oral care in a positive manner. Alfred & Abbey Alligator take little Alley Alligator to visit Dr. Smiley, Pleasant View Pond's favorite dentist. Dr. Smiley uses non-threatening language to explain the names of his dental instruments to Alley, & she completes her first dental visit with an awesome smile. This book is ideal for introducing young children to dentistry. The author's specialization in pediatric dentistry caused him to write this book to introduce parents & children to the following concepts: * not all baby teeth must be present to go to the dentist, * children can "like" dental visits, * the doctor intends to help the child, * pain is not required to seek dental care, & * that a healthy oral environment should be promoted to the child at an early age. This book is a useful educational tool for parents & dental care professionals. Dr. McNutt is a member of the American Dental Association & the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
