Lesson Instructions for MouthWise Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web (MOHSotW)
The theme in Lesson 7 is ‘SmileShine’
Oral Health Books ‘n C.D. ‘All About A Smile’. Oral health education at it’s best ! Just 10 MouthWise Oral Health Books, number 2 of our oral health manuals, and one MouthWise Oral Health C.D., “4 Your Smile 2 Shine”. Oral health educators, the character SmileShine was created to be a ‘messenger’. The carrier of our oral healthcare messages to children. The front page of each book has a SmileShine message. The MouthWise Oral HealthCare Certificates have a SmileShine message. You could create your own SmileShine message for any idea you might have. Use as many ideas as come to mind to educate children to use mouth paste and a mouth treater to treat your mouth, your teeth gums and tongue for lifelong oral health. The fun character SmileShine keeps reminding them that for smile shine you must ‘Treat Your Mouth’ for a smile 2 shine. But to become really mouthwise, they’ll learn much more!
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.
““The MouthWise™ Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web”
Lesson 7
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 7 Objective :
In “Visit 7 to GarGar The Dentist” our strategy is to give children information on the undesirable affects of plaque on other structures in their mouths. Their attention is drawn to tooth anatomy, the structure of bone, development of cavities, development of pulpitis, abscess formation and to the surface anatomy of the top of the tongue.
To learn some simple facts about tooth anatomy, the structure of bone, cavity development in teeth, inflammation of the tooth pulp, abscess formation and the surface anatomy of the tongue.

Pre-Web-Lesson 7 Chit-Chat :
Look at the Cover Page:
Smileshine says that brushing is old fashioned. Can you explain why ?
The Treat Stamp suggests that plaque monkey business, may stain your teeth. Do you agree ? Could it be because after treating you leave behind on the teeth surfaces helpful X.Y.Z. , which doesn’t happen if you just brush?
Page 2 :
Read what my friend Croc-O-Smile has to say. Croc-O-Smile gets full marks from me , because he is regular with his Ingredient-Looks, with his Helpful X.Y.Z. counts and with his Harmful X.Y.Z. counts. Do you do this regularly ?
Page 3 :
PadPaw has such a lovely smile, and always looks very happy when visiting GarGar The Dentist. Are you too, always happy ?
GarGar The Dentist does not want you to worry about all the terrible things that can happen in your mouth. He wants you to simply know about them and later he will tell you how you can stop it from happening..
Ruby Roo is very wise to take very special care of her teeth and gums.
Page 4 :
Booksie Owl does not show us her smile, not like Kooksie. But because she is such a very good student, I am certain it would be a really lovely smile.What do you think ?

Page 5 :
On the top of the page GarGar The Dentist tells you when you are drawing, to imagine they are your teeth and tongue .(Gums is a mistake)
KookaMum certainly does not give in to Kooksie when she wants things which are bad for her.
Please read the Treat Stamp very carefully. There are some pastes which do not contain helpful X.Y.Z.. Choose only the pastes that do.

Web-Lesson 7 Text :
Read the text on Page 8 and Page 9. Read it several times to make certain you understand it.
Carefully study the drawing of an healthy tooth on Page 9.Look at the numbers alongside the drawing, then look for the numbers on the drawing. This way you will quickly know every part of a tooth.
Then on Page 10 study the unhealthy tooth. Check the corresponding numbers again. Follow the attack from the surface of the tooth, through the enamel, through the dentine, through the pulp, out through the apex and into the bone.
