This book is for middle grade readers (ages 9-12) and educators. It is a lighthearted look inside your mouth. It is also serious science, vetted by research scientists. New discoveries about how microbes affect human health have gotten a lot of media attention. Very little is written for kids about how microbes affect human health. The mouth is microbe hotspot, and a great place to introduce children to the idea that their microbes matter. Having a happy, healthy mouth IS a hands on activity. This books tells how.

Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!
The book is written by three women. Yet the cover illustration and “Dentoman” inside are male! C’mon!
Did you know about biting ducks? I watch the mallards in Central Park every spring. A gang of males will chase and bite an unattached female until she’s exhausted, at which point they will gang rape her. Sometimes they even kill her.
