Teeth on the Go, a dental health education program is touring elementary schools in the state of Missouri. The show will be performed in Jamesport today (Wednesday), Feb. 14, at Tri-County School.
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
Delta Dental of Missouri’s Tooth Wizard, and his fun-loving sidekick Panda, help school-aged children in kindergarten through third grade across the state learn how to ward off the tooth-destroying PlaqueMan through the popular oral health program, "Teeth on the Go."
Delta Dental, which provides the program at no cost to participating schools, is committing almost $300,000 this year to stage 340 performances at elementary schools in every county in Missouri over the next three months.
Each child receives a take-home dental goodie-bag filled with a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, crayons and a coloring sheet. All students who successfully complete the program also earn healthy smile certificates.
Each school is also given a curriculum kit for teachers. To determine when the "Teeth on the Go" show will be visiting a school in your community, please e-mail [email protected] or [email protected].
