1. We did a "tooth" experiment with eggs. We put one egg in water, one in apple juice and one in soda. Ask your child what happened to each tooth (egg). We actually brushed them.
2. Dr. Obery and his crew came to talk with our first graders about dental health. I got to be Miss Molar. They brushed/flossed me to get off the food and bacteria that cause cavities. They also peeked in the kids' mouths for a preliminary exam.
3. We read a book called The Real Tooth Fairy. In this one, the girl stays up and sees her mom taking her tooth/leaving a coin. Her friend stays up and sees his dad. She asks her mom if she's the tooth fairy and mom tells a story of how the tooth fairy can become anyone the child loves, as to not scare them, if they wake.
