February was Dental Health Month!



To celebrate Dental Health Month we traveled to Freedom Valley School in Gettysburg, PA to talk to the kids about the importance of caring for their teeth. We showed videos and taught them the proper way to brush and floss.The children also learned about plaque control and the process of how teeth decay. We demonstrated proper brushing and flossing techniques and used trash bags and silly string to show them how to remove the plaque on their teeth.

  1. This is great! I wish they had these fun activities when I was in school learning about flossing and keeping teeth clean. I especially like the trash bags and silly string idea. Very clever!
