Dental Hygiene For Kids

I remember when I was a child, the teacher should normally distribute packages of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and small plates that show the plaque on the teeth. I was wondering what site I can get more info about it. I visited Colgate and Crest and cannot seem to find something. Can someone give me the exact link of where to go for it. Thank you!

Here you go! www.ada.org/goto/ncdhm/

This is the link to the site of the ADA for the Children's National Dental Health Month, which is February ... you will find lots of free stuff as well as items you can order if you want ...

You can ask a dentist in your area to come and talk to children ... It will also show them the correct way to brush and floss, and may even distribute dental articles of their own.

You can also send an email Oral-B, Crest, Colgate, Tom's of Maine, etc.. request samples for your class ... just know your intentions and I am sure they will send you your orders!

Have fun with it, and I thank you for your efforts!

:)

I would contact your county health department.

dude! I remember swish swish swish Thet rinse rinse lmao man those were good times

meaning that if teachers have the right to push someone else child. not saying that brushing teeth is not important and all, but what right do you have?

I think it's great that you want to help children like that. I do not know if the laity are able to obtain these types of materials. You can call around your area and find if there is a dentist who wants to help you. I found a link to "Dudley" materials (see below), but I think you must be a dentist or a member of the ADA to buy. I suspect that there may be a dentist in your area who would be willing to send some team members to make a presentation and go to toothbrushes with their name to their office or something. Do not give up. I think you do children in your class a great help and a great favor. Take care.

Fruitloop247: Teachers have every right to educate their students about brushing! There are so many parents who do not want a bit on their children's teeth! I bet you did not know that children do not have the fine motor skills that are used to properly brush their teeth until the age of nine! This means that parents should brush their teeth until the age of children!

Anyway, I would call the dentist office in your area to have them sent to a hygienist at your classroom. Or if the parents of the children are a hygienist or dentist, ask them if they can come in. You probably will not beable to order release tablets b / c you are not a dental professional. Here's a site you can order toothbrushes for a reasonable price: www.smilemakers.com

It used to be in an area where dental practices during February (Dental Health Month). The officer would go to a classroom and hands on these items sponsored a dentist (or it was given freely by saying, Crest). Ask your personal DDS.

Try the American Dental Hygiene Association: www.adha.org
They must have information about local programs or statewide that are in your state and hygienists or dentists go to classrooms and to teach good dental hygiene, etc.

In addition, look at the site of your county to see if there are programs at your school.
