Personalised story about a wobbly tooth dentist visit

What happens in your child and the Wobbly Tooth

1. Your child finds a wobbly tooth after breakfast.
2. They pack their favourite small comfort for the dentist.
3. At the practice, your child spots friendly things in the waiting room.
4. The dentist looks at the tooth with a little mirror.
5. Your child leaves proud, with a simple plan for their wobbly tooth.

How the first page could read

Your child was crunching an apple at breakfast when something felt funny. One of their teeth gave the tiniest wiggle. Your child touched it carefully with their tongue, then hurried to the mirror. “Look,” said your child. “My tooth is wobbly, and today I’m going to the dentist.”

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

Why this story works

A wobbly tooth can make an ordinary day feel full of questions, especially when a dentist visit is next on the calendar. This story keeps the focus on familiar, practical moments: noticing the wobble, waiting for an appointment, sitting in the dentist’s chair and seeing the small mirror used to look at teeth. Your child remains in charge of the story, able to ask questions and take each moment slowly. Made for ages 4–6, it gives families gentle language for talking about what may happen at a dental visit, without offering medical advice. A photo of your child makes the preparation feel personal and recognisable.

Reading it together

• Read it a few days before the appointment, then let your child point out the parts they are curious about.
• Use the story’s objects, such as the chair and mirror, as simple prompts for questions rather than promises about the visit.
• Bring the digital book along to revisit the waiting-room pages while you wait, if that suits your family.

Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour

Soft watercolour details make the dental practice, waiting room and everyday hometown setting feel calm and familiar. A sidekick idea: a small striped comfort scarf. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
