Written by Penny Smith A Trip to the Dentist READERS � “Come on, get your coats,” called Mom. Sarah and her brother, Josh, tumbled into the room. � “It’s time to go to the dentist for your checkups,” said Mom. 6 Soon they arrived at the dentistÕs office. Mom told the receptionist their names. ÒI want my teeth to stay strong and white like RabbitÕs,Ó Josh told her. rabbit 7 8 The children played in the waiting room until it was time for their checkups. � Then the dentist took them into the examination room. “Hi,” he said. “My name is Dr. Richards.” 10 11 “Who’s going first?” asked Dr. Richards. Josh climbed into the chair with Rabbit. The dentist pressed a button and the chair tipped slowly backward. dentist 12 Then he used a small mirror to look for holes called cavities in JoshÕs teeth. He didnÕt find any cavities. mirror ÒOpen wide,Ó said Dr. Richards. First he checked JoshÕs gums. 13 14 ÒYou need to take extra care of the molars at the back of your mouth,Ó he said. ÒRight now there is a sticky layer on them. This is called plaque. It can cause cavities, so you need to brush it away.Ó molars 15 Dr. Richards showed Josh a good way to brush. 16 ÒSqueeze a pea-sized blob of toothpaste onto your toothbrush. Then gently brush in little circles,Ó he said. toothbrush 17 18 Josh tried brushing RabbitÕs teeth. ÒHow often do you brush your teeth?Ó asked Dr. Richards. 19 ÒEvery day, I think,Ó said Josh. ÒYou should brush twice a day, once in the morning and once before you go to bed,Ó said Dr. Richards. 20 Then it was SarahÕs turn. ÒYouÕve lost six of your baby teeth,Ó said Dr. Richards. incisors 21 “New incisors are growing at the front. Soon your other baby teeth will get wobbly and fall out. You’ll have 32 new teeth in all.” 22 Then Dr. Richards found a little cavity in one of Sarah’s teeth. “I’m going to put a filling here,” he said. “A filling is a kind of paste that dries hard. It will keep the cavity from getting bigger and giving you a toothache.” 23 24 First Dr. Richards cleaned out the cavity using a drill. His assistant, Carol, used a suction tip to suck out any saliva, or spit. 25 Then she gave Sarah a cup of water to rinse out her mouth. 26 Next Dr. Richards used an air jet to blow air into the cavity. This dried the cavity so the filling would stick. 27 Then he pushed the filling neatly into the cavity. “All done,” he said. 28 Then Dr. Richards pointed to a chart. It helped explain how to prevent cavities. ÒDonÕt have sugary drinks or candy very often, and brush your teeth twice a day,Ó he said. 29 candy 30 As they were leaving, Dr. Richards gave Sarah and Josh each a sticker of a smiling rabbit. 31 The sticker said, ÒTo keep your teeth sparkling clean and bright, brush early in the morning and last thing at night.Ó And thatÕs exactly what they did! sticker READERS Pre-level 1 Fishy Tales Colorful Days Garden Friends Party Fun In the Park Farm Animals Petting Zoo Let’s Make Music Cuentos de Peces en español Dias Ilenos de color en español Meet the Dinosaurs Level 1 A Day at Greenhill Farm Truck Trouble Tale of a Tadpole Surprise Puppy!
