Croc Goes to the Dentist - Experiences Matter - Sue Graves

A gentle, engaging story to help young children prepare for a dentist visit with confidence and curiosity.

Crocodile absolutely loves sweet treats—but when her teeth begin to hurt, it’s time for a trip to the dentist. Feeling nervous and unsure, Croc learns that the dentist is kind, patient, and there to help. By the end of the visit, she’s not only feeling better but also a little braver.

This reassuring picture book is a wonderful way to open up conversations with little ones about dental hygiene and overcoming fear of the unknown.

Why we — and schools — love it:

• Eases anxiety by familiarising children with everyday experiences like dental check-ups.
• Promotes healthy habits and emotional vocabulary.
• Ideal for both homes and classrooms to support early childhood development.
