Toothbrushes, Toothpaste and Flossers Needed Part 2!

Help me give my students toothpaste so they can learn about dental hygiene and have a kit to take home.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brinken's classroom raised $235

This project is fully funded

My Project

February is Dental Hygiene month, and every year I teach my students about good dental hygiene. I teach them how to brush and floss their teeth properly. The problem is that not all my students have a proper toothbrush, toothpaste, or flossers at home to brush and floss their teeth each day.

Supplying these toothbrushes, flossers, and toothpaste for my students will allow them the materials they need to brush their teeth each day and to learn and practice good dental hygiene.

This is part 2 of my Toothbrushes, Toothpaste and Flossers project and I am asking for Toothpaste. In part 1 I asked for Toothbrushes.

Learning these skills at an early age will ensure they grow up with these life skills necessary for their health.
