Thanks for your interest in ‘We Brush Our Teeth’!

My name is Dr. Randy Kreidel and I have been a dentist since 1992.

My wife Jane and I have been married since 1976 and are both U.S. Air Force veterans. We have three grown children and seven outstanding grandchildren.

One night while I was brushing my grandson Asher’s teeth, I made up this little poem to keep him entertained and occupied long enough to do a good job cleaning his teeth. He enjoyed it, so I continued to use it for all my grandchildren.

I have also recited the poem for many of my younger patients that I treated in my dental office. It seems to distract them and calm them at the same time.

Many years later, I had the poem printed into this book in the hopes of helping other families make brushing teeth fun . I added the guidelines on the final page to give parents some information on how to care for their children’s teeth.

The illustrations are done by my good friend Laura Kingston.

I hope you enjoy it.
