Dental health plays a significant role in maintaining a healthy body and preventing oral issues in the future. In our 'Dental Health' theme, we provide dental education and activities to help children develop a lifelong commitment to oral care; learning about the importance of brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.
To make learning about dental health engaging and enjoyable, a variety of practical life, sensorial, maths, language, science and cultural activities are included into our curriculum. Some of the activities encourage children to participate in brushing and flossing demonstrations, healthy snack choices, and using age-appropriate books and stories to introduce dental health concepts in a playful and relatable manner. Children will also be able to engage in a variety of Dental Health crafts and games, which help reinforce their understanding of good oral hygiene practices.
