My Project

My project is to help teach and enforce dental hygiene in my preschool classroom. Preschoolers will be taught during group times the importance of oral health and how to keep our teeth healthy. During the day we will be able to brush our teeth.

Dental health is so important and we want to teach our little ones the importance of taking care of their teeth when they are young.

Students will be able to use the large mouth to practice hygiene and how to make sure we are taking care of all of our teeth. Students will be able to use the play items to learn about the dentist and the benefits of going to the dentist.

Many of the students in our school qualify for free or reduced lunches and resources are limited. We do not have a dentist in our area and have to travel an hour or more to get dental care. This will help our students learn about the importance early on.
