This very simple eight-page booklet is available in English and Spanish and tells how to protect your baby's teeth. It has a little story about a conversation between two mothers, and then lists basic actions you can take to ensure healthy baby teeth. It talks about using fluoride, cleaning your baby's teeth, feeding healthy food, preventing baby bottle tooth decay, and seeing a dentist. The booklet has big pictures, large type, and lots of white space. The writing is very easy-to-read and would make this a good classroom material for a low-literacy or beginning English class.

KEYWORDS: Children's Health, Oral Health
