What is Healthy Teeth?
Healthy Teeth is an oral education database built upon the science of oral health and designed for elementary grades 3 – 6. It features animated graphics, easy-to-understand text, simple classroom experiments and much more. The Canadian Dental Association, Nova Scotia Dental Association and the Halifax County Dental Society form the site’s primary sponsors. Healthy Teeth will be updated with new features and sections over time. There are no corporate sponsors. How do we use Healthy Teeth? The data housed in the Healthy Teeth site is available to anyone. It can serve as a stand alone lesson on oral health or be integrated into either Health or Science programs. The toothbrush icons are labelled with separate topics that launch different sections of the site. Credits Site material was gathered from John Besford’s Good Mouthkeeping: A Parent’s Guide to Dental Care, the Nova Scotia Department of Health publication Dental Health Grade 4 to 6 (1989) and the Canadian Dental Association public
