A Visit from the Dentist The first and second grade had a visit from the dental assistant on National Tooth Fairy Day! The children learned about proper brushing, flossing, and dental care. Healthy foods and choices were discussed. Each child got to brush the horse puppets teeth, and boy was it fun!
