What Would Happen if You Never Brushed Your Teeth?

Description

I’M NOT BRUSHING MY TEETH! What would happen if you took it to the extreme and never brushed? This humorous, fact-based cautionary tale shows the effects of bad dental hygiene on your mouth–and your social life! For kids who want to know the why of everything, author Thomas Kingsley Troupe takes readers down an imaginative, subtly instructive path of what ifs. If you never brush your teeth, stinky breath gives way to plaque, cavities, and gum disease, leading to the conclusion that brushing your teeth is good after all. Expressive illustrations bring these narrative nonfiction stories to life. Fun facts, tips for proper brushing, a glossary, and further resources enhance learning.
