Since 2018, we have led the effort to increase children’s awareness about the importance of oral Hygiene
OUR MISSION
As Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Let’s Smile Boston is a diverse network of undergraduate leaders working to confront lack of awareness about the importance of oral hygiene in children through education. Together, we are driving impact across select classrooms and events in various communities to achieving our goal of raising awareness of all children across the country.
We have designed three effective in-class coloring activities and games to efficiently promote the importance of brushing teeth:
Healthy or unhealthy?
In this activity students will be shown a series of common foods and will be asked which ones they think promote dental strength. Through positive attitude and lots of high fives, students will learn about which foods to avoid and which ones to eat to maintain healthy smiles.
Help your friend brush his teeth!
This fun coloring activity consists of a paper with a cartoon smile and coloring pencils. Students will color the individual teeth using brushing methods. The motion of coloring the teeth represents the motion of children brushing their teeth.
Brush away the alphabet germs
In this engaging activity, students are encouraged to brush away the alphabet markings on an upside down ice tray using their felt tooth brush and effective brushing techniques. This activity will strengthen in the children’s minds the correlation between brushing teeth and getting rid of germs!
