The Dental Hygienist, Beth Ann
from Plaistow Pediatric Dentistry
came to Haverhill Daycare today!!!
The children had lots of fun learning about how to take good care of their teeth!
They learned that it is best to brush twice a day for two minutes each time.
Each child had a turn to brush the dragons teeth using small circles.
They also played a game where they matched healthy foods to a happy tooth and not so healthy foods to the sad tooth. They talked about how those foods are alright sometimes but they should mostly stick to the healthy foods.
All the children got to take a turn putting food on the board and deciding which tooth it went to.
The children got to check out all the tools the hygienist or dentist will use during a visit.
The children were able to take a look at a real x-ray of someones mouth.
They were also able to practice brushing and flossing on a large scale. The children were the teeth! They thought it was such a hoot! : )
They had lots of fun today and learned an important lesson about dental health.
Thank you Barbara Ann!
