They are called dentists
Who are dentists? How do they help children?
Children, do you know? Dentists are actually like little "doctors" for our teeth! Their job is to help everyone check, protect and treat teeth, so that our teeth become healthy and strong. Just like your body will go to the doctor, your teeth also need the help of dentists to take care of them.
​
When you go to the dentist, they will use a small mirror and some special tools to carefully check each of your teeth for cavities, whether your teeth are straight, and whether there are any problems that need to be dealt with in advance. If a small problem is found, the dentist will help you clean it up, and will also teach you how to brush your teeth correctly and how to eat to make your teeth healthier.

They will also talk to you very gently, just like a friend to accompany you. So, bravely going to the dentist can make it easier for you to have good teeth!
