Tools for Teeth is the essential guide for parents and carers who want to give their children a healthy start.
Written by Dr Bill Madytianos - dentist, expert in public dental health and clinical lecturer at the University of Melbourne - Tools for Teeth gives practical, evidence-based answers to the questions parents and are always asking.
Less Googling. More Knowing.
Filling the gap between the dental clinic and the home, Tools for Teeth breaks down what matters, what doesn't, what to do when something goes wrong, and when children actually need professional help. It helps you handle teething troubles, brushing battles, dental problems and dental emergencies with confidence, making oral care simple and stress-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it suitable for my child's age? Absolutely. It covers every stage, from before the first tooth through to the teenage years, so you can pick it up at whichever stage you're at.
Is it evidence-based? Sure is. It's in line with national guidelines, and every recommendation is referenced. We'll also flag where state and territory requirements apply. If you have any questions or concerns, email us at info@toolsforteeth.com.au
Will it help with a child who refuses to brush? We hope so! No two families' brushing experiences are the same, so Tools for Teeth offers plenty of practical strategies for tricky brushing (and flossing) sessions. Also visit our [blog - coming soon!] for extra brushing advice, or come along to one of our free oral health sessions to learn even more.
What's the magnet? Every copy comes with a free Tools for Teeth fridge magnet featuring an oral care timeline, so you can see when to start and stop key routines, with the essentials always in front of you. Will it replace a visit to the dentist? Certainly not. Regular check-ups with a dentist or oral health practitioner (like a dental hygienist) are still important! But this book helps you keep your child's mouth healthy and happy between visits and take the stress out of at home care.
