This story is written to support children who have anxieties around visiting the dentist or to help them understand the process of a dentist appointment. There are useful questions and conversation starters to help relieve children of fears they may have and develop coping strategies for dentist appointments. The illustrations are black and white so that children can personalise the story and colour them in as they go along. Do not feel the need to rush through the story as each page can be used per session to work at the individual child’s/group’s pace. Social stories are an effective way to support children and young people with additional learning needs or disabilities to develop an understanding of the world and preparing them for specific situations they will find themselves in as they grow. It is the perfect opportunity to support a small group, class or individual on a one to one basis by exploring their thoughts, feelings and empowering them with life lessons.
