The Honest Microbes: Encouraging Children to Brush Their Teeth - Paperback

"The Honest Microbes" illustrates a child friendly version of Streptococcus Mutans; a microbe that thrives on sugar and produces lactic acid that eats away at hydroxyapatite crystal-an essential mineral of dental enamel. It is every parent's goal to ensure that their children follow proper hygiene protocol, which helps the parent and child avoid the psychological stress often associated with pediatric dental visits that require drilling.

The honest microbe approach warns children about the repercussions of not taking the time to take care of their dental health. The smart hygiene approach encourages parents to develop a routine with their child, making most fun out of brushing away those rapid-growing microbial monsters.
