Dental Health

 

February is Dental Health Month, a good time to reinforce dental hygiene practices with children. The following are some activities that you can do with children.

  • ~ Using pictures of foods or actual food models, discuss which foods contribute to healthy teeth and those that may be harmful.
  • ~ Make a collage of snacks that are good for teeth.
  • ~ Read the books My Friend the Dentist or Bugs Bunny Goes to the Dentist.
  • ~ Give each child a toothbrush to use at daycare. Demonstrate correct tooth brushing procedure and encourage children to use them after meals and snacks.
