Education
We understand that oral health affects the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of a child. Poor oral health goes beyond cavities and gum diseases. In fact, children who have bad brushing habits often miss school more and receive lower grades than children that don’t. poor oral health can also lead to terminal illnesses as oral health affects overall health. At Remember the ToothFairy, we hope to educate children about the importance of a healthy brushing routine, hoping to bridge the gap by providing access to the oral care they need. Our Outreach Program does just that. By providing in person and virtual events throughout the year, we hope to provide a fun and educational environment where children can grow and expand their knowledge on the importance dental hygiene.
01
Brushing Routine Presentation
A fun, educational, 30 minute presentation filled with live demonstrations featuring the beloved mythical creature: The Tooth Fairy! During this time, students will learn about the importance good dental hygiene, as well as the four key steps of a good brushing routine. At the end of each presentation, every student will receive a goody bag filled with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. RTF recommends that schools/organizations schedule a live presentation with either a Game "Night" or Arts & Crafts.
02
Games Night (Or Day)
RTF's 30 minute Game "Night" encourages students to use the knowledge they learned during our live presentation to help them remember, recall, and revisit the steps to a good brushing routine. Students will have the chance to participate in games such as trivia and bingos. RTF requires schools/organizations to schedule Game "Night" sessions back to back with our live presentations.
03
Arts & Crafts
Arts & Crafts are a perfect way to have fun while continuing education on the importance of good dental health. During this 30 minute long session, everyone will have the opportunity to choose between making a Tooth Fairy popsicle stick puppet, a Tooth Fairy pouch, or color Tooth Fairy coloring pages. RTF recommends scheduling an Arts & Crafts session directly following our live presentation, as it yields the best learning and engagement results.
