Mission Project   Now that we have learned so much about keeping our teeth healthy, I have a favor to ask of you.  I want you to be my Dentist for a day.  Let's pretend that I have never been to the dentist.  Will you please show me how to brush and floss my teeth. I need to know why I should do these things.  What will happen if I don't?  Can I just eat candy and brush my teeth and be okay?  I don't know anything about keeping my teeth healthy.  Please help me?  Maybe visiting this web site https://commerce.jbutler.com/kidsstuff_page.asp  will help you, help me.

Mission Steps You are my dentist today.  I have never been to the dentist.  I need you to show me how to take care of my teeth.  ----First, draw me a picture of  how my teeth will look if I do not brush and floss them daily. What do I need to do to keep my teeth shiny, white and healthy? ----Now, I've heard that I don't need to eat alot of candy because it will give me cavities.  What kinds of foods should I eat? Please fix me a plate of food to eat. I need to eat things that will keep my teeth healthy. Now that you have completed your mission, I am going to take your pictures with me and put them on the Internet for everyone to see.  Maybe they will help some other kids your age learn how to take care of their teeth too.
