My Project

My students have a lot of tooth decay. When students come to me with tooth pain or because they’ve lost a tooth, I will give them a bag with a toothbrush and toothpaste and a little lesson on how to brush effectively.

I already have toothbrushes.

I will place them in a bag with a small tube of toothpaste and use the stickers to decorate the bags. If you make dental hygiene fun with bright colors and stickers, students are more likely to be excited and listen to your advice about caring for their teeth.
