DECAY, PLAQUE AND BRUSHING OUR TEETH

Today as part of Science we used ourselves as an experiment!
We have been studying bacteria (plaque) and the impact it has on our teeth, we have also been learning how to reduce tooth decay by brushing our teeth correctly.
Each student had a disclosing tablet that they sucked, this turned the plaque into pink. We used a mirror to check out our teeth, yuck.
We then brushed our teeth with a tooth brush and toothpaste and saw how it removed most of the plaque, and we had healthy teeth again.
A huge thanks to Lumino Orewa for supplying individual packs for the students of disclosing tablets, balloon, drink bottle and tooth paste and tooth brush.
