Promoting Oral Hygiene

This morning some of the Ponies have explored brushing our teeth! We spoke to the children how our teeth help us to eat, and how we can keep our teeth healthy through healthy eating and brushing our teeth twice a day. They explored tooth brushing by using a tooth brush and tooth paste to brush the ‘plaque’ off of the model teeth. We also read books about our teeth and spoke about going to the dentist, and what the dentist does. Some of the children told us the dentist said their teeth were healthy and gave them a sticker after their visit!
