You're never too young or too old to learn about proper dental care. That's why the Michigan Dental Association has created this section that provides teachers and parents with creative ideas to teach their children about oral hygiene.
While you're here, read up on the Michigan Dental Association's annual coloring contest and encourage your sons, daughters and students to enter. In addition, teachers will want to visit the Give-a-ways and Items on Loan sections to find out how they can receive a host of oral health teaching aids.
