Thank you to Roxbury Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry for coming to school and presenting to our Pre K, 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. The students learned about healthy dental habits and received a free toothbrush!
Our Kindergarten and 4th-grade students will have a presentation from the Zufall Health Center on Monday, April 4th.
The students are listening to a dental health tip on the morning announcements. They also can view the health showcase and bulletin board to learn about other good oral habits.
The second dental showcase will show the amounts of sugar in many beverages enjoyed by our students. Remember that for every 4 grams of sugar in a beverage, it equals one teaspoon of sugar!
For example, a 20 ounce bottle of Cola has 15.5 teaspoons of sugar in it! A 20 ounce bottle of fruit punch as 10.1 teaspoons of sugar in it, and a 16 ounce bottle of sweetened tea has 11.9 teaspoons of sugar in it!

Water is the best beverage for our bodies and teeth!
