The Little Book That Helps Big Feelings Feel Less Scary
Children experience the world in vivid colour—every sound louder, every sensation sharper, every new place a mountain they’re not sure they can climb. For many families, the dentist’s chair is one of those mountains.
But what if bravery wasn’t something children were expected to have…
What if it was something they could learn?
That’s the heart and hope behind the new children’s book, A Visit to the Dentist, a warm and reassuring social story created especially for children who experience anxiety, sensory overwhelm, or difficulty with unfamiliar environments.
A Comforting Guide for Children Who Feel Things Deeply
Soft in tone and rich in empathy, A Visit to the Dentist walks young readers through one of childhood’s most common worries—dentist appointments—while helping them navigate their fear, anger and nervousness.
With simple, accessible language and childfriendly explanations, the book shows children:
That big emotions are normal
That feeling scared doesn’t mean they can’t be brave
That bravery is a skill they can practise—with support
Every page is designed to help children feel seen, heard, and safe.
Tools That Turn Anxiety Into Courage
Parents will love the practical strategies woven naturally into the story, including:
· Gentle breathing exercises
· Sensory comfort ideas
· Positive selftalk prompts
· A special “Brave Plan” children can personalise
· A childfriendly Feeling Scale to encourage emotional awareness
These tools help children build confidence not only for the dentist—but for any situation that feels big or new.
Designed to Build Connection
Intended to be read with a trusted adult, A Visit to the Dentist strengthens emotional bonds and opens meaningful conversations between children, parents, caregivers, and educators.
It’s a resource families can return to again and again—before appointments, during moments of overwhelm, or simply as a bedtime story that nurtures resilience.
Where to Find It
A Visit to the Dentist is available now on Amazon.
