The organization of community oral health activities

In dental hygiene, it is never too early to start teaching children how important it is to brush and floss their teeth. With local activities during health care events, dental professionals such as myself can educate children why they should brush their teeth everyday and show them how to brush their teeth by using teeth models and a toy brush. With the teeth models, I would place artificial plaque on the teeth and I would have the kids use the brush to remove the "dirt bugs" off their teeth so they would be nice and clean. After doing so, I would reward the children with a goody bag for doing a great job. With this experience, this would help enhance the learning and importance of why brushing your teeth everyday is important in everyday life.
