Teeth

The last two days the  children have been learning how to keep their teeth healthy.  On Monday they cut out a yellow tooth.  They then used a toothbrush and white paint to brush it and make it clean.  This week the children also colored a toothbrush like the one they use at home.    At another center the children were given a tooth(glob of play doh) that had cavities in it(black beans).  They used tweezers to get the cavities out of the tooth.  They then placed the cavities on a recording sheet that was labeled with numbers.  We also played a tooth game that worked on one-to-one correspondence using marshmallows.

Today the morning class also had a special visit from Liam's mom Dr. Murphy who is a dentist.  She taught us about foods that are healthy for our teeth, as well as how to brush.
