This book is perfect to teach young children about how to care for their teeth and why it is so important to brush and floss regularly. We also learn about the dentist and how we lose our baby teeth. There is a whole section about enamel and cavities and the roots of the teeth. There is a section all about how our teeth form when we are tiny unborn babies and then start to grow out when we are about 6 months old. Incisors, molars, wisdom teeth, and dentures - this book covers all the bases when it comes to teeth!
The colorful illustrations bring a sense of warmth and fun to the information, and the small boxes with factoids make it easy to read. The whole design is inviting and pleasant!
I'm going to have my nieces read this one, because there is a section that gives step-by-step instructions on brushing your teeth the correct way. I think they just chew on their toothbrush and they don't really brush! This book gives really clear instructions in a fun way that makes it engaging for little readers.

This really should be a 4.5 book - rounded up. There are so many things about it that I like.
Published first in the Czech Republic, it is also available in English. This 24- page long book (published as a hybrid board book; it has stiff pages inside traditional book covers) every aspect of teeth and tooth care for preschoolers. It includes cross-cut diagrams of teeth, why we need teeth, baby/permanent teeth, a diagram of when baby teeth fall out, why and how to care for teeth, good/bad foods for teeth, going to the dentist, and closes with what people would look like with various animal teeth.
The tone of Urbánková's text is just right- the right content spoken in a calm, clinical way. There is a little levity in the text to keep it from being too dry or too overwhelming for youngsters who anticipate losing their first tooth or visiting the dentist for the first time. Laid out in a browser format with captioned images, it is easy to go straight to a topic or skip over one, as needed.
Graphic style art by Magda Garguláková has just the right amount of whimsy, as the images are kid-friendly in bright colors and have the appearance they may have been created by a kid. My questions about images of the dentist's office are dated (there are fewer "spittoons" seen today in modern dentists" offices than 10 years ago), plus I don't think I have seen two of the toothbrushes illustrated (a single-tuft toothbrush and an interdental toothbrush are not widely found in the U.S.).
My largest concern is the large board book type format. It would indicate it is for the very youngest listeners - think: toddler-PreSchooler. I think Kindergarten and up would be turned off by this format.
This might be useful for parents to open a discussion of dental hygiene with their kids. Teachers should pair this with The Tooth Book by Dr. Seuss, Losing a Tooth by Nicole A. Mansfield, and The Tooth Book by Edward Miller (for K-2) in units on dental hygiene.

Teeth: You Only Get Two Sets by @albatrosbooks @marie_urbankova is an educational, engrossing, and fun read! I love that this book teaches children about teeth throughout the lifespan, proper tooth care, fun tooth facts, and a bit of dentistry! If there is a child in your life hoping to be a doctor or dentist this intriguing nonfiction is perfect for them. I love its thick pages, colorful illustrations, and endless teeth facts in this book recommended for ages 6 & up!
This relatively simple book covers how humans grow two sets of teeth, what a tooth is made of, how to clean your teeth, and other important facts. The writing is aimed at children who are starting to lose their baby teeth and are growing their permanent teeth...Although most of this is a solid introduction to human teeth for children, it contains a concerning error...
Teeth is a delightful introduction to human teeth - why we need them, how they grow in, and how to properly care for them. The bright, bold illustrations catch the eye while the brief, informative captions chunk text into digestible portions. Teeth is ideal for an elementary grade audience who is still in the process of losing their teeth.
This nonfiction book is for elementary school kids in the losing and growing new teeth stage. With charts, diagrams, and humorous illustrations it breaks down why we have teeth, the difference between baby teeth and permanent teeth and how to take care of our teeth. It’s informative but presented in an exceptionally child friendly way that’s perfect for the age group.
A wonderfully informative deep dive into the mouth as we learn all about our teeth from formation to upkeep and positions to removal. Hilariously engaging illustrations pull the reader through the graphics all printed on durable cardboard pages that could make this the perfect sturdy little companion to your little one’s next visit to the dentist.
Great for kids to learn about teeth, going to the dentist and caring for teeth. Colorful images, short descriptions that are easy to understand and contain quick facts and info. Good for a kid losing teeth who has questions about why they are falling out and what happens after.
🦷 This book about our pearly whites has sturdy pages and bright, bold visuals to make a sometimes boring topic interesting. Learn about the importance of teeth, how to care for them, visiting the dentist, and much more.
A really fun introduction to teeth and the importance of taking care of them. Bright, fun illustrations and the perfect amount of text. I love how the book is laid out in order for the information not to appear overwhelming.
TEETH: YOU ONLY GET TWO SETS is a children's picture book that teaches them all about their teeth and how to take care of them. Why do we need teeth? Where do they come from? Why do we need to take care of our teeth? These are just a few questions this book answers. It also shows children the correct way to brush their teeth. I love how it shows what makes up a tooth and what each one is called. The speech bubbles and notes scattered throughout add more character and information without being too much.
The images are loud with bold colors and dramatic lining, which are perfect to entertain little minds. They are detailed enough to paint the picture without overwhelming children. It contains all the information to appease their curiousness on how teeth work. The structure of the book is study with board book thick pages in full size format. To me, the formatting is perfect for an ADHD mind because there's so much to look at, their eyes will bounce around everywhere, trying to absorb it all.
Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children aged six and older who are intrigued by the human body or for those who are interested in becoming a dentist. It also teaches the importance of brushing your teeth, which will make it a great reference for those stubborn kids who don't like to brush their teeth.
