Mouth

students sitting in the larger than life mouthStudents enter this larger-than-life mouth where they are given a food tag designating  them as a different food item.  They can sit on a tooth (in shape of a stool) and the presenter demonstrates various techniques to keep the mouth, teeth and gums healthy.  This is done with a large toothbrush and a piece of "rope" dental floss.  They also learn about the first step of digestion, healthful snacks, the importance of good dental health, and to avoid cigarette and spit tobacco.
