This book looks at ways to help children, young people, and those who care for them, to become confident about going to the dentist.  9 year old Millie is autistic and was worried about going to the dentist. Our story begins with the things that helped Millie prepare for, and then cope with, her visit to the dentist.  It tells how she worked through her anxieties by understanding her rights to play, to be informed, and to participate in decision making. Using health-related play, Millie was eventually able to visit the dentist who gave her control and respect in exploring everything.  This book also contains a section for grown-ups on how to support children who may struggle to deal with new or unfamiliar situations.
