On October 25, the dental hygiene students from Madison College came to our classroom. All the kindergarten students rotated to all three stations to learn about dental care. Each student received a packet with a new toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and timer.
 |
| The girls showed us what happens to our teeth when we do not brush and care for them properly.This is a Styrofoam cup with honey stuck to the outside. It turned to acid and ate a whole right through the cup. |
 |
| At this station, the students looked at plaque on teeth. They chewed on red tablets that helped them to see the plaque on their own teeth. The students colored a picture to show where they saw plaque after chewing the tablets. |
 |
| At this station, students learned how to brush their teeth. They ate an Oreo cookie to see how the food gets stuck in their teeth, and were instructed on proper brushing techniques. |
 |
| At this station, students learned about healthy food choices . |
 |
| At the end of our time together, students enjoyed a treat of apples, peanut butter, and marshmallows. Students really loved this entire activity! |
