What is the tooth bible?

The Tooth Bible is the go-to guide for parents and parents-to-be looking for a one-stop solution for understanding their child’s dental health journey. Rather than sifting through multiple complex sources, this streamlined, Q&A style handbook was created with the busy parent in mind, allowing for effortless access to answers and information. Designed to be displayed, The Tooth Bible stands out as the premium baby gift that affirms its value for years to come.

  • "As a parent of two children, ages 8 and 14, the world of pediatric dental care and orthodontics has been a “learn on and as needed basis” for many of us. This book is packed with useful, easy-to-digest information that will undoubtedly help any parent understand oral health and preventative care as their child develops. As a sleep specialist, dental health is a much misunderstood and overlooked area in sleep and breathing, and this book will be a useful tool for parents who are struggling in this arena and unsure of next steps."

  • "Among the many books on the market about pregnancy and baby’s health, there’s a noticeable void in educating parents about their children’s dental journey. This book effectively fills that gap with clear language and illustrative pictures, often answering questions I hadn’t yet considered. It has eased my anxiety about dental health and enabled me to have more productive discussions with our pediatric dentist. I know I’ll continue to return to The Tooth Bible as my children grow older and new questions arise. Highly recommend!"

  • "This book is an invaluable resource for parents seeking to understand their child’s dental development. As an orthodontist and mother of two, I often share this book with my patients and friends. The book demystifies the often complex world of orthodontics with clarity and precision, making it accessible and engaging. From explaining the importance of early orthodontic evaluations to detailing the phases of treatment, Dr. Geiman provides practical advice and expert insights that are both enlightening and reassuring. This book is a must-read for any parent looking to ensure their child’s healthy and beautiful smile."

  • "As a pediatric dentist, I see countless children for their first ever dental visit. Unfortunately, I am often diagnosing early childhood cavities and significant bite issues. Many of these problems could be avoided if parents knew how to steer clear of certain mistakes. There is a clear lack of emphasis on oral healthcare and proper dental hygiene for newborns and toddlers. Thankfully, The Tooth Bible has stepped in to fill that void with a concise and easy to read book. It is a must-have for every family’s bookshelf."

Quick Bites

According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the recommended time for a child’s first dental visit is either six months after the eruption of the first tooth or at age one, whichever occurs first.

Old tricks like biting an apple or tying string around a door knob still have their place, often the quickest way to wiggle out a tooth is to take your thumb and pointer finger and rock it from side to side until it releases from the gums.

Parents should brush their zero-to 3-year-old child’s teeth using a small soft-bristled brush twice daily and a toothpaste that contains fluoride.

Typically, all baby teeth are in the mouth by age three. The complete set of baby teeth is composed of ten upper teeth and ten lower teeth.
