To continue our Healthy Living topic in Senior Kindergarten, we had a visit from two dentists.
One was from the Paradise Smiles and one from the Government dental department.
The dentist explained that the best time for a child to learn about oral health and to develop a positive attitude about good dental habits is now aged 5.
They talked to the children about why it is important to keep our teeth healthy.
They both informed the class about the importance of not only brushing our teeth but brushing it the correct way.
They went on to explain that they need teeth to chew food, speak, and have a healthy smile. A healthy mouth is part of a healthy body.
Through the use of a video and a puppet the children learnt how to keep their teeth healthy.
