In recognition of National Children’s Dental Health Awareness Month, James A. Dever students in grades kindergarten through second grade welcomed Summer from New Wave Orthodontics who spoke on preventive dentistry.
The students watched a video showing them how to properly floss and brush their teeth. Summer spoke to the children about dental development and purpose of sealants. The students also learned that brushing twice a day for two minutes and cleaning in between your teeth by flossing would help reduce the risk of cavities. The importance of healthy eating habits and limiting snacks was also discussed.
Every student received an informative coloring book and toothbrush. Thank you to Summer and the New Wave Orthodontics for coming to speak with the children.
