Writing a New Chapter: Dental Student Makes Dentistry Cool Through Storytelling
Dental visits can be intimidating, even scary, for children. Jeremiah Kim, DMD23, aims to change that by introducing superheroes that make oral health accessible and fun. His new children’s picture book “The Mouth Guardians” is the culmination of a creative process that began his first year in dental school. It teaches young patients the importance of maintaining positive oral health habits by following the Mouth Guardians endeavors to keep their city, Mouthopolis, safe from the “bad guys” who spread dental decay.
