Building Bright Smiles

A Fun-Filled Morning with Our Young Patients.

At our practice, we believe that good habits start young — and what better way

to encourage oral health than with a morning of learning, laughter, and hands-

on fun?

Recently, Oral Health Educator Amy hosted a special session with some of our

youngest patients to talk all about brushing, healthy eating, and taking care of

those growing smiles. The goal? To help children understand the importance of

looking after their teeth — and to make it fun!

Amy shared easy-to-understand tips on how to brush properly, how often to do

it, and why our diet plays such a big role in oral health. The kids got to learn

about the difference between tooth-friendly snacks and those that can lead to

cavities. It was a relaxed, friendly environment where the children felt

comfortable asking questions and joining in.

But the morning wasn’t all about lectures — we added a creative twist! The

children enjoyed hands-on activities like making their own toothbrush holders

and helping “clean” a monkey’s teeth (don’t worry — it was a model, not a real

monkey!). These fun, interactive elements helped reinforce what they learned

and gave them a sense of pride and ownership over their oral health routines.

Events like these are an important part of what we do. Educating children early

helps build lifelong habits and reduces dental anxiety down the road. Plus, it’s

always a joy seeing their excitement and enthusiasm.

A big thank you to Amy for leading such a fantastic session, and to all the parents and

children who took part. We can’t wait for the next one!
