Once you are lying back, the dentist or dental hygienist will want to look into your mouth. They may begin my touching your cheek and lips

The dentist or dental hygienist will move so that they are sitting behind your ears.

The dentist’s or hygienist’s hands will come around your head like a hug.

Now the dentist or hygienist will touch your cheeks and your lips with their gloves and ask you to open your mouth

Then you’ll be asked to open your mouth. It can be fun to roar like a lion.

Now, the dentist or hygienist can look in your mouth!

While your mouth is open big, the dentist or hygienist will put two fingers in your mouth and move your lips and cheeks.

The back of your mouth is very dark and hard to see, so the dentist or hygienist may use a little mirror to see your back teeth.

They may ask you to stick our your tongue and use a little tongue towel to hold on to your tongue so that they can move it back and forth.

You did a great job and now the dentist knows what your teeth look like!

Congratulations!
