Captain
Supertooth will visit more than 30 schools in February,
teaching elementary school children about the benefits
of good oral hygiene.
The Delta Dental
of New Jersey Foundation provides this program free to
schools throughout New Jersey and Connecticut as a
public service during National Children's Dental Health
Month.
Using a giant
red toothbrush and the children as teeth, Captain
Supertooth educates children about brushing, flossing,
balanced diet and visiting the dentist.
The program
normally lasts about 20 minutes and can be tailored to
fit a school's needs. Since the program began in 1990,
Captain Supertooth has instructed more than 30,000
children about proper dental care. Because Captain
Supertooth is in such high demand, we also developed a
Captain Supertooth video, which is free to schools and
is available in both English and Spanish.
Teachers,
school nurses and school administrators may add their
schools to the waiting list for Captain Supertooth
programs by sending an e-mail to jappaluccio@deltadentalnj.com.
They may also request a free Captain Supertooth video
for their schools by sending an e-mail to the same
address. |
