Another successful year for Tillie the Tooth!
The dental educators from our office educated over 4000 students in Fort Bend County public and private schools this past year. With a hands-on approach and many visual aides, the students interact as they learn about good oral hygiene habits and nutrition. Tillie is a large animated Molar who presents with food and plaque on her that the students volunteer to brush off. Others are chosen to help with flossing. Nutritional snacks are discussed all in a fun and humorous way. At the end, the students are given toothbrushes and handouts to take home.
This program has been presented in area schools by Debbie Snelling, RDH and Anne Pencak RDA since 1989.
