Participants at the "Cavity Free Kids" train-the-trainer workshop on Oct. 13 at the WCI offices found out that teaching good oral hygiene to kids and families doesn't have to be boring. The day's training was filled with hands-on projects, skits and role-playing that can be used to help pass along the message that taking care of one's mouth is an important first step toward overall good health.
The event was sponsored by the Early Childhood Dental Network and Delta Dental of Minnesota. The "Cavity Free Kids" curriculum was presented by Delta Dental.

You'd be happy too, if your teeth were this nice!
A group of cuddly and decidedly happy-looking characters are residing at WCI (no, not the staff, although they're pretty happy most of the time), at least until they find permanent homes. These Star Smilz puppets (the big ones) and stuffed animals are used to teach children how to brush and floss. But be careful. The creatures have the ability to squirt water, too! The Star Smilz animals will be used as door prizes for the Early Childhood Dental Network's next round of "How to Talk 'Tooth" When You're Not a Tooth Professional" training events being held around the region. Stay tuned for event information.
