Our Journey to the Dentist [Inuktitut/English Edition]

Join Maaku, Dax, and Charlie as they journey to the dentist?s office. Find out if they have defended their teeth against Gingi Jim, Plaquer Pete, and Cavity Carl! Learn about the diverse experiences of an Inuit family, a Cree family, and a Métis family, introduced in the beloved Kohkum?s Kitchen, who unravel the mysteries of oral health while embracing their vibrant Indigenous backgrounds. Maaku sets out from the Arctic on an airplane, filled with curiosity about what lies ahead. Dax, brimming with questions, settles in for a long car trip as he travels with his family. Charlie takes a bus ride through the busy city before eagerly meeting the dentist. Once they meet Dr. Sheri, she teaches them how to keep their teeth healthy and how to be superheroes who protect their teeth from sugarbugs. The children also reconnect with the lessons of the Medicine Wheel, a timeless guide for well-being. In partnership with the Indigenous Dental Association of Canada, Our Journey to the Dentist nurtures Indigenous children?s connection to their heritage and highlights the importance of their oral health. In this version the reader can enjoy English and Inuktitut.
