From a dental perspective, Smith discusses a wealth of information about a variety of topics, including how to grow a:

healthy parent-child relationship;

positive sense of self-worth and self-esteem;

great smile;

healthy child.

In addition, Smith shares his knowledge about: dental emergencies, new orthodontic treatments for overall health, the airway and sleep, healthy jaw joints, posture, Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, dental insurance, and more.

Customer Reviews

"This little book is a treasure trove of useful and practical information to help parents not only with providing their child a healthy start in life but also benefiting the child throughout its life. Pearls of wisdom gained throughout decades of dealing with adults and children are concisely stated and organized in an easy to understand format. The mantra is prevention. Yes, you can! Dr. Smith?s interest in the child?s development goes beyond just developing a healthy dentition. He calls attention to the necessity of recognizing symptoms of sleep disorders, their causes and how that may influence the child?s development as a whole both cognitively and physically and what treatment options to pursue early on. His ideas on orthodontics and jaw development are especially noteworthy. It?s a wonderful little reference book to read through once and then refer to often. It belongs on every family?s bookshelf."
