NEW YORK (MMD Newswire) March 19, 2009 -- There's a Picnic in Your Mouth: Based on a True Story by Patricia Varano, D.D.S. is the story of one little boy's realization of what goes on inside his mouth.

In There's a Picnic in Your Mouth, readers are introduced to Marty, Sylvia and Harry, a trio of entertaining bacteria that are living inside the mouth of a little boy named Charlie. These comical microorganisms are enjoying a feast and making themselves at home thanks to Charlie's aversion to brushing his teeth. Fortunately for Charlie, his aunt is a dentist and stresses the importance of oral care by teaching Charlie a game to combat the bacteria in his mouth.

What started out as a simple story that Varano would share with her pediatric patients evolved into an opportunity to boost pediatric awareness of oral hygiene. "I truly believe that if a child understands why things are happening, they will be more compliant," Varano says. "I took the truth of how and why a cavity forms and simplified it so that even the youngest child could understand and be motivated to clean his or her teeth."

In the end, Varano hopes to illustrate proper dental care in a manner that will enable children to be enthusiastic about oral hygiene.
