We had such an exciting day in our Early Years Reception class! The fantastic Brush Up team from Northumbria University came to visit us, and they were all trainee dentists. They taught us all about why brushing our teeth is super important, what healthy eating looks like, and why we should visit the dentist regularly.
To help us understand better, we got to brush some giant teeth! How cool is that? We used 2-minute timers to see how long we should brush. It was great practice! We also discovered sneaky sugars hiding in some of our favourite foods and how they can cause plaque and tooth decay. Our new friends explained what dentists do and how they help keep our smiles bright and healthy.
At the end of the day, we even listened to a story about plaque and tooth decay, which helped us remember to keep our teeth clean. With all this new knowledge, we’re ready to brush, eat well, and remember to visit the dentist. Thank you, Brush Up team, for such a fun and informative day! We can’t wait to share what we’ve learned with everyone at home!
