The dentist had brought along a variety of illustrative materials to help the children learn more about a healthy or unhealthy diet and how to brush their teeth thoroughly. Of course, the children also had the opportunity to practise brushing their teeth properly on a large tooth model with a large toothbrush. Afterwards, all the children were given a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush cup. With these utensils, they then went straight to the washroom, where the children were able to brush their teeth themselves with the support of Franz Krieger and with great fun and interest.
The main aims of a visit to the dentist in the daycare center are early prevention and maintaining children's oral health, promoting personal responsibility, raising awareness through child-friendly information, playful activities and equal opportunities for all children. Parents were also involved in the campaign in advance with various information material on topics such as healthy eating, dental hygiene and caries prevention.
The visit to the dentist left a lasting and enthusiastic impression on the children. The teachers would like to thank Franz Krieger for his commitment and look forward to working with him again in the future.
