Dental Health ~ Week of 3/14/16

Last week we had a special visitor from Dental Associates of Walpole.  http://www.dentalassociatesofwalpole.com/
Miss Liz, the dental hygienist talked to us about dental health!  We learned about proper tooth brushing, flossing and the importance of eating healthy foods.  

Miss Liz brought some puppets with her (Spot the Dog & Alex the Alligator)
to show us how to brush our teeth!

We learned about Healthy Foods

Charlie the Dog and "Doctor Petrie"
talk to us about what to expect when we visit the dentist.

We played a fun movement game!
Freeze (sweet or treat) & Wiggle (healthy food)

Learning how to brush our teeth!

"High Five" Thanks for visiting us!!
