Dental Health

February is Dental Health month.  I have read several books including The Lion Who Wouldn’t Brush His Teeth.  We have had several discussions about brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist.  So, today we conducted a little experiment.  I put one egg in water and one egg in Coke to soak for the day.

At the end of the day the egg soaking in Coke was stained brown.

Then I used a toothbrush and toothpaste to brush the egg.  The children were shocked at how much of the brown coloring came off the egg.  We then talked some more about how important it is to take care of our teeth by brushing twice a day.
