Description

This book combines humorous cartoons and facts to describe what it would be like to live without dentists, how important teeth are to health and daily life, and how people dealt with tooth decay in the past.

Quick Summary

Imagine a world where a simple toothache could actually kill you this is the wild scenario this book explores with hilarious cartoon illustrations and real historical facts. Kids will love the gross-out factor of ancient tooth-pulling methods, the surprising history of toothbrushes made from animal bones, and the tongue-in-cheek warnings about what happens when you skip brushing for too long. If your kid loves the "Horrible Histories" series or "The Bad Guys" books, they'll devour this same blend of history, humor, and slightly gross facts. Perfect for kids in grades 4-7 who enjoy learning through laughter and already have some experience visiting the dentist themselves.
