It’s said, a picture is worth 1000 words. We think these pictures are worth much more, because they’re all about the good health of children! What better way to follow up with parents on taking care of their child’s dental health than a colorful one-pager with photos?
Healthy Habits for Happy Smiles, a free resource from the National Center for Early Childhood Health and Wellness (NCECHW), is an easy-to-read series in both English and Spanish that takes it slow–one topic at a time. Photos show exactly the right amount of fluoride toothpaste to put on the brush, how to hold the child to brush teeth and tips on soothing teething pain.
Parents will also want to know about choosing healthy drinks and snacks, preventing injuries and finding and visiting a dental clinic with their child! Best of all, printing and photocopying is encouraged and may be done by the page or by the series.
Parents depend on you, and you can depend on Tooth Talk!
