Colgate Smiles

The dental nurse is at our school at the moment. Quite a few pupils in our class have had to visit her recently and some children have even had to have FILLINGS!
Luken, Kyle and Russell are trying hard to prevent plaque from forming on their teeth.
Hannah, Zoe and Jessica are hoping they don't have any cavities in their teeth this term.
After morning tea each day for 2 weeks we are taking time to clean our teeth together and go over ways to brush properly. It is so important to look after our teeth and get into good habits such as:
*cutting down on sugary foods
*brusing at least twice a day
*using dental floss
*brushing our tongues

Jonty, Hunter and Josh are making sure they brush the back teeth as carefully as the front teeth.
It is important to brush our gums as well to prevent gum disease. You should brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes each time.
We found a great website called www.colgate.com which has lots of games and tips on dental hygiene. Check it out...
