How the first page could read

Your child checked the time again as they sat in the dentist’s waiting room. Today was not a check-up with a quick sticker at the end. The dentist had invited your child to look closely at their teeth and talk about something called braces. Your child wondered what they would see.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

At ages seven to ten, children can notice that a dentist conversation about braces has more detail than an ordinary check-up. This calm, everyday story lets your child follow the appointment step by step: waiting, looking at teeth together, hearing new words and thinking of questions. Seeing their own photo turned into the main character keeps the setting familiar while the focus stays on what happens in the room. There is no treatment instruction or promise about outcomes; the book simply makes space for curiosity and a straightforward conversation. It can be read before an appointment, or afterwards as a way to revisit the day.

Reading it together

Read the story together a few days before an appointment and pause wherever your child has a question.
Invite your child to point out the part of the appointment they are most curious about.
After reading, help your child write down any questions they would like to ask their dentist.

Suggested art style: Coloured pencil

Coloured pencil gives the dentist setting clear, reassuring detail without making it feel clinical. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.

Questions

Does the story tell my child whether they need braces?

No. Your child visits a dentist, looks at their teeth and hears that braces can be discussed, but the story does not assess teeth or offer treatment guidance. It is a calm fictional preparation for talking through an appointment, with room for your family’s own questions and dentist’s advice.

How is your child included in the book?

You share one photo of your child and answer a few questions about their name, age, preferred art style, adventure and little details. Picture to Story creates a 32-page book with your child as the illustrated hero, and you can see the cover before paying.

Can I see the book before I pay?

Yes. Your child’s cover and the first page of the story are made while you answer the questions, usually in under a minute, and you see them before checkout. You only pay if you love it.

How long does it take?

The digital book is usually ready about 10 minutes after you order. Printed books take 3 to 5 working days to print, then 3 to 7 days to post in the UK and US.
