Are you interested in a free, fun and educational way to get your little ones excited about dental hygiene? The Tioga County Department of Public Health is bringing a special guest to our local libraries and fitness centers (Family Resource Centers) this February: Danny the Dragon!
Keeping those tiny teeth sparkly clean can sometimes feel like a chore, but Danny is here to turn "brushing time" into "playtime." This interactive program is designed specifically for families to learn the best ways to keep cavities away while having a blast.
What to Expect:
- Story Time: Enjoy a themed story that makes dental health relatable and fun for kids.
- Interactive Activities: Hands-on games that teach children why brushing is important.
- Practice Brushing: Kids will get the chance to practice their technique right then and there!
- Take-Home Goodies: Every participant will walk away with a brand-new toothbrush, a daily brushing chart, and stickers to help keep the momentum going at home.
Catch Danny the Dragon at these locations:
Mark your calendars! All events are free and perfect for preschoolers and young elementary-aged children.
