New Video Shows Toothbrushing at the Table
OHRC, a partner in the National Center for Early Childhood Health and Wellness, has helped to produce a new video, Steps for Toothbrushing at the Table: Growing Healthy Smiles in Early Care and Education Programs.
In this video, learn how to prepare, model, clean up, and store supplies, and to train staff to begin a daily toothbrushing program in Head Start and child care programs. Find supplemental resources on the video's web page.
Encouraging tooth brushing in Head Start and child care programs helps promote oral health and teaches children about proper toothbrushing and a lifelong habit.
