Lesson Instructions for MouthWise Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web (MOHSotW)
The theme for Lesson 4 is “MouthWise”
Oral Health Books ‘n C.D. ‘All About A Smile’. Oral health education at it’s best ! 10 MouthWise Oral Health Books.The MouthWise Oral Health C.D., “4 Your Smile 2 Shine”. Oral health educators, in The 10 MouthWise Oral Health Books there is a character named “Booksie Owl”. From an early age children are led to associate wisdom with owls. Oral health educators are advised to make full use of this association of ideas in situations which include “Booksie Owl” or the word “MouthWise”. Children are educated to use mouth paste and a mouth treater to treat your mouth, your teeth gums and tongue for lifelong oral health. For smile shine children are educated to ‘Treat Your Mouth’ for a smile 2 shine. Little by little we are making children “MouthWise”.
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 4
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!
Web-Lesson 4 Objective :
In “Visit 4 to GarGar The Dentist” our strategy is to give children information on plaque, on how plaque forms and on the constituents of plaque. Children are made aware of bacteria in their mouths.
