Emily's First Visit to the Dentist, released by Dog Ear Publishing, stars a young girl named Emily who is seeing the dentist for the first time. The story prepares children for their dental visit by letting them know what will happen each step of the way.

Emily's friend Max tells her she'll get a cool new toothbrush, and her friend Katie talks about the tasty toothpaste. Tara the Terrific Tooth Fairy comes to Emily in a dream and lets her know step-by-step what will happen when she sees the dentist, from x-rays to fluoride treatments. Hearing from Tara further reassures Emily, who ends up enjoying her first checkup.

It is the first book written by Judi Snyder, RDH, a dental hygienist with 26 years of experience, with many spent in a pediatric practice.

The book is $9.95 and can be purchased at Snyder's website.
