Something to Chew On

Teeth are here to stay and be used!  Children will see the use for which teeth are designed and explore how their own teeth work based on the shape of the tooth. They will learn how fluoride protects the teeth and discover that it is very easy to get fluoride on a daily basis. Healthy dental behaviors are stressed so children will learn they are responsible for their teeth. Children will be able to “practice” brushing during the program to learn how to brush their teeth effectively.
