Stewart Manor School first graders in Taylor Miklus’ class celebrated National Children’s Dental Health Month, which is observed every February, with a visit from local dental hygienist and Ms. Miklus’ mother, Lisa Miklus.
Mrs. Miklus discussed with the class why it’s important to take care of their teeth, explaining how to floss, how to brush their teeth, what foods are healthy or not healthy for teeth, and to visit the dentist yearly to get their teeth checked.
Each student practiced brushing on a replica mouth and completed a “How to Care for my Teeth” paper spinning wheel. Later in the school day, the class also read “The Tooth Book” by Edward Miller together.
