Best Pediatric Dentist Released List of Recommended Books for Overcoming Dental Anxiety Sweetpea Pediatric Dentistry Says Preparation is the Key to the Best Pediatric Dentist
SUGAR LAND, Texas-- In conjunction with National Read Across America Day, Sweetpea Pediatric Dentistry released a list of favorite children’s books to help kids overcome their fear of the dentists.“Dental anxiety is all too common in our younger friends,” said Dr. Nasha Hunter of Sweetpea pediatric dentistry. “Many of these children come from homes where the parents suffer the same anxiety and may pass it on without realizing it. We suggest the best way to help a child be prepared for their visit is by reading a book about their favorite character and a trip to the dentist. This experience will help ease their mind, help them know what to expect, and has the added bonus of snuggle time with mom or dad.”Read Across America Day is celebrated annually on March 2-the birthdate of Dr. Seuss, and is a nationwide initiative to get children excited about reading. The book list released by Sweetpea also contains popular titles from the famous tongue twisting author. Some of the books recommended by Sugar Land pediatric dentists include:
