The Tooth, The Whole Tooth, and Nothing But the Tooth

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.

Prior to the arrival of my daughter, I read lots about developmental milestones and activities to ensure her health and happiness. However, when her first tooth came in, my wife and I did not know if we should brush it and we certainly did not know when we should take her to her first dental visit. The Tooth Bible efficiently outlines what every parent must know about their child’s dental development. I plan to keep this book handy and reference it frequently as my daughter grows and hits new dental and developmental milestones.
