A Special Visit from the Dentist

The Kindergarten joined the PreK class for a special visit from dentist, Dr. Rider. Dr. Rider taught us a lot about taking care of our teeth.

Here is what we learned:

“Brush for 2 minutes and use a timer so you know”

“Brush your teeth after you eat candy or sweet stuff”
“Brush your tongue last”
“Brush your gums where it meets your teeth”
“Brush top and bottom”
“If you don’t brush your teeth, they might bleed when you finally
  do”
“We have 20 baby teeth. We have 32 adult teeth”
“We have more teeth when we are adults because we grow and
  get bigger”

Dr. Rider showed us the proper way to brush our teeth and all the children got a chance to practice brushing with the big toothbrush and a very large set of teeth! She sent us all home with a new toothbrush, cup and timer to help us take care of our teeth!!

Thank you Dr. Rider!
