Dental Health

For dental health month, our class learned all about keeping our teeth healthy! The class did an experiment to demonstrate the importance of eating healthy and brushing our teeth. See below for some photos from our fun day of dental health. Coming up this month, we will be seeing a presentation by a dental hygienist.

Four of our "teeth" decided to drink soda, one drank water.

When they were done drinking soda, they had yucky plaque on them. We worked together to brush the teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste to keep them healthy, but the only one that stayed completely clean was the tooth that drank water!

Can your kindergartner remember 4 ways to help keep teeth healthy? What are some kinds of snacks that can be bad for our teeth? Remember to brush twice, and floss once every day! And don't forget to visit the dentist for a check up twice each year.
