Electronic Field Trip to the Dentist
Windows Media® or RealPlayer®
What are teeth made of? How can you keep them healthy and strong, and why is it so important to do that? What does a dentist do? How does a person become a dentist? In this KET “community helpers” electronic field trip for primary grades, students follow along as a young boy named Jeremy gets a dental checkup and learns about tooth care. The topics covered include
- how to brush and floss
- how eating healthy foods helps your teeth
- the importance of regular checkups with your dentist
- the work of a dentist and the tools and instruments dentists use
- common procedures at the dentist’s office
- how to become a dentist
This 2007 KET production shows kids that dentists’ offices are not scary. Instead, they are friendly places where caring people help us make sure that our own strong, healthy teeth will be chomping away for a lifetime.
