Pedro's Smile

Pedro’s Smile is a heartwarming children’s book that follows a young boy as he discovers the power of a healthy smile. Blending gentle storytelling with colorful illustrations drawn by children in a Guatemalan dental clinic waiting room, the book brings authenticity and heart to oral health education. Available on Amazon, Pedro’s Smile is designed to make dental hygiene fun, relatable, and empowering for kids everywhere.

Pedro’s Smile is distributed free of charge at Tooth & Nail’s oral health workshops, where children learn hands-on dental care through interactive lessons and activities. By pairing education with a take-home storybook, we help kids continue learning long after the workshop ends.

Written in both English and Spanish, Pedro’s Smile breaks language barriers to reach children and families in diverse communities. Its bilingual format ensures that vital oral health messages are inclusive and culturally responsive, especially for Spanish-speaking households.
