In this alphabet book, each word or phrase provides dental facts in order to promote healthy oral hygiene. The variety of topics (from hygienist's job to yellow teeth) makes for an unfocused approach, and some terms aren't adequately explained. Regardless, apprehensive patients will appreciate the matter-of-fact tone and cheerful collage and oil illustrations.
