It’s hard to believe but the holidays are upon us once again! With that in mind, you may be thinking about scheduling your child’s pediatric dentist visit at the beginning of the new year. However, if your son or daughter has been expressing fear about going to the dentist, there are ways you can help them overcome that fear soon – through gifts! A book gift, that is.

Perhaps you’ve tried telling your child that there is no reason to fear the dentist but to no avail. Or maybe your child isn’t necessarily scared of the dentist but is just not sure of what to expect. Either way, you can pick up some books that may help ease the transition
