Lesson Instructions for MouthWise Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web (MOHSotW)
The theme for Lesson 3 is "Visits to GarGar The Dentist".
Oral Health Books ‘n C.D. ‘All About A Smile’. Oral health education at it’s best ! 10 MouthWise Oral Health Books, titled “Visits to GarGar The Dentist”. One MouthWise Oral Health C.D., “4 Your Smile 2 Shine”, the tracks of which are narrations of text and the song “4 Your Smile 2 Shine” taken from “Visits to GarGar The Dentist” books. Oral health educators we are educating children to ‘experience’ fun-filled, joyful “Visits to GarGar The Dentist”. We want them to enjoy visits to their real dentist for the rest of their lives. We want them to remember their “Visits to GarGar The Dentist” and to make healthier choices when eating, drinking, shopping and when exercising their oral hygiene instruction.
Children’s smiles are the key to their future. I ask everyone involved in children’s education, especially in children’s health education and in children’s home education to be more concerned with and to take more responsibility for children’s oral health education. The smiling faces of primary school children in a primary school, indeed in all primary schools and K-12 schools, are still being adversely affected by easily preventable diseases such as bad breath, bleeding gums, holes in teeth, plaque on teeth, plaque on gums, swollen gums, scale on teeth. Every tooth and the gum will stay healthy forever if given the chance. The names ‘tooth brush’ and ‘tooth paste’ contribute to many oral diseases such as plaque build up and sore gums because they send wrong messages to children. Our better oral hygiene instruction, our correct nomenclature and our lessons in oral healthcare, not just in hygiene, will banish plaque, tooth decay, tooth abscess and stop bad breath forever. Please help children learn how to stop plaque, arrest decay, to take better care of the beautiful things in their mouth; their teeth, gums and tongue. Everyone can eliminate all oral diseases forever. With a simple ‘swish’, they are easily preventable diseases! I hope you find these Lesson Instructions helpful.

Lesson 3
Hello and Welcome, Oral HealthCare Educators,
I will always remind you at each ‘Visit’ that oral health is an inheritance. Oral disease, on the other hand, is an infliction, usually a self-infliction, and usually the result of neglect and or of lack of knowledge and understanding and or of poor advice. It is absolutely true that the common oral diseases, tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath are easily preventable.
Throughout these 10 “Visits to GarGar The Dentist” we want to give children information, advice and instructions, tailored especially for them to be able to understand, which will make them knowledgeable in all aspects of oral disease prevention. We want children to become self-motivated to prevent oral disease throughout their lifetime. The key to their oral health is their self-motivation to prevent oral disease and that is our goal!
