Office tour: My Visit to the Dentist
Review the office tour with your child to learn the routine. Your child may also read the story independently.
Today I am going to the dentist.
The dentist helps keep my teeth clean and healthy.
I will check in at the front desk.
I will have a seat in the waiting room. There are books and toys there for me to play with.
When my name is called I will walk down a hallway to see the dentist.
I will walk by a few chairs. One of them will be mine to sit in.
My dentist will say hi to me and ask me about my day.
My dentist must wear a mask and gloves to get ready to look at my teeth.
The dentist will check my teeth with special instruments. They do not hurt.
I will sit in a big chair. It will move and lean back. I must sit still so the dentist can look at my teeth.
The dentist uses a special camera to take pictures of my teeth.
Sometimes a special camera to take a picture of how my teeth and jaw are growing must be used.
