I felt a little guilty making these dentist coloring pages – my kids are totally overdue for a visit to the dentist. And so am I!
Fortunately, going to the dentist is pretty different for kids these days than it was when we were growing up. They’ve got special pediatric dentists offices with play areas, TVs in the ceilings, and goody bags. Can you believe that kids get goody bags from their dentists?! Who knew that there were toothbrushes with pretty much every cartoon character ever created on them?
It’s a great thing, though, as kids seem to have so much less anxiety about dentist appointments these days. It’s practically like going to a birthday party or something.
Still, it’s not a bad idea to reinforce the importance of dental hygiene, whether it’s between visits or to get your kids mentally prepared for an upcoming appointment. These dentist coloring pages can help them get a better understanding of how to take care of their teeth, as well as what to expect when heading in to the dentist’s office.
