Dear Teacher,Sonicare For Kids cares about helping teach children proper oral care habits that they can practice their entire lives. This year, in partnership with Scholastic, Sonicare For Kids is working with teachers around the country to help kids understand the importance of healthy teeth and provide families with key insights to help raise better brushers.

Good oral health offers a child many advantages. Having healthy teeth and a healthy mouth supports a child’s overall health, because dental problems can affect the rest of the body.

As a caregiver and educator, you can get involved in teaching kids about oral health in a way that will benefit them over the long term. Please use the enclosed poster and reproducible activities for students to help support your classroom’s health and wellness curriculum. Additionally, please send the enclosed information to parents to keep the learning going at home.
