My Dad visited Alex’s classroom today for February Dental Month. Alex’s class is Kindergarten and 1st grade, 22 5-7 year olds. Alex introduced Dad as his Papa and said, “He helps fix people’s teeth.” They all enjoyed commenting about how many teeth they have lost or if they had gotten any cavities yet.

Dad demonstrated how to brush properly, not just the tops, but along the gum and inside, too. Don’t forget to brush the tongue! He emphasized how bad soda is for one’s teeth, too. Coke has almost the same pH as battery acid! Yikes! Each child received a small tube of toothpaste and a new toothbrush.
