Our Outreach
Why We Are Reaching Out
We are looking to connect with dental professionals who may be interested in supporting the project through one or more of the following opportunities.
Dental Content Review
Our primary goal is to have dental professionals review storybooks before they are publicly shared. A reviewer may be asked to:
- Check dental explanations for scientific accuracy
- Identify any misleading or confusing information
- Suggest changes to make explanations clearer for children
- Help ensure that the content is appropriate for its intended age group
Reviewers are not expected to rewrite the stories or take responsibility for creating the illustrations. We are simply hoping to ensure the accuracy of the educational content.
Educational Feedback
We would also welcome input from dental professionals who regularly work with children, including dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants. For example:
- What questions do children commonly ask during dental visits?
- Which procedures or dental concepts tend to confuse children?
- What do you wish more children understood before visiting the dentist?
- Are there any dental topics that you think would benefit from being explained to children through an illustrated storybook?
These suggestions can help guide future books and ensure that the project addresses real questions children have.
Sharing Free Resources
As the project grows, we hope to make our completed storybooks available for free to dental offices. Interested dental offices may choose to:
- Share digital copies with families.
- Print copies for waiting rooms or educational use.
- Recommend books to parents preparing children for dental visits.
Participation in sharing resources is completely optional.
