Summary
| Description | Good dental care for children is presented in this film. Teeth are made from the food we eat. A smiling girl sits at a table eating a meal. A diagram shows the parts of a tooth as a pointer indicates the parts. The right foods are necessary for good teeth. Vigorous chewing helps to make strong teeth. Stain and deposits lead to decay. A mouthful of decayed teeth is shown. The dental hygienist helps to keep the mouth healthy. A woman dental hygienist is shown in a dental clinic greeting a boy patient. The child gets into the dentist's chair and has a towel put over his chest. The hygienist cleans his teeth. Some close-ups are shown. The hygienist instructs the boy in the proper method of brushing the teeth. She uses a set of model teeth, and holds the brush up to her own face to demonstrate the up and down brush stroke. Decay usually starts in places that are hard to keep clean--these and the spread of decay are shown in drawings. The dentist can repair decayed teeth. A |
