In this week’s Living and Learning lesson, we’ve been learning about the importance of oral hygiene.
The children in Y3 were really knowledgeable about this topic and we were able to learn lots of important things.
We talked about dos and don’ts when it comes to oral hygiene. Here are some of the dos:
- brush teeth twice a day for two minutes
- visit a dentist regularly
- drink water
- eat foods low in sugar
- floss
Here are some of the don’ts:
- forget to brush your teeth
- drink a lot of fizzy drinks
- eat foods high in sugar
- spit out toothpaste straight away
- rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth as it washes away the fluoride (which helps prevent plaque)
We also did some role play by using example dilemmas that people were having about their own oral hygiene and the children gave some really good advice to help them!
I was really impressed with how much the children knew and got some good tips! Someone in Y3 even received a certificate in our assembly because of their great contributions! Well done, Tommy!
