Introduction:
Hey class, I am back to see you to talk to you about your teeth
again! To start, raise your hand if you remember what we talked
about last time I was here? Have any of you been choosing
healthier snacks and drinking more water? What were some of
the foods we talked about last time? Since you all have nice and
healthy smiles I want to make sure you all know how to keep
your teeth shiny and healthy. So today I am going to talk about
how to brush and floss the right way, what may happen if you
dont brush and floss the right way, and some special stuff called
fluoride and how it helps our teeth!
(Floor seats)
Lesson Body:
1) We are going to start with a little activity. Remember last time
I came around the room and took pictures of all your beautiful
smiles? Well I am going to hold up a photo of a smile and if
you think the picture is you then you raise your hand. I will
then call out the name of who it is and you will come up and
get your picture. Before you sit down I want you to tell me
one thing you do to keep your teeth clean! (Hold up each
photo/name on back of photo)
2) Why do you think we floss? Its to get all the spots we cant
reach with a toothbrush. The floss goes right through those
tight spaces that our toothbrush bristles cant get to!
c) When you get the floss around the tooth you want to lightly
move up and down. If you snap the floss down hard it
could hurt your gums, and doing a sawing motion could
also hurt your gums.
3) Fluoride
a) Fluoride is a mineral found in water. Fluoride is like
vitamins for your teeth! Remember the germs we talked
about last time? Fluoride helps fight those germs and
keeps them from making cavities on your teeth! So when
we drink water it helps clean off our teeth and fights
germs! Toothpaste also has fluoride in it so every time you
brush your teeth you are giving your teeth those vitamins
they need to stay strong. Does anyone remember getting
sticky stuff put on your teeth at the dentist office? That
stuff they put on your teeth is also fluoride!
4) Coloring page
a) In a minute you are going to go back to your seat and I am
going to hand out a coloring page for you guys to work on
while I come around the room and have each of you practice
brushing and flossing with the stuff I brought.
b) Go around room allowing kids to practice brushing with
laminated smile and cotton ball toothbrush and flossing
