Lesson Instructions for MouthWise Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web (MOHSotW)
The theme for Lesson 1 is “white teeth, healthy gums and fresh breath”
Oral Health Books ‘n C.D. ‘All About A Smile’. Oral health education at it’s best ! Just 10 Oral Health Books, number 2 of our oral health manuals, and one Oral Health C.D., “4 Your Smile 2 Shine”, for oral health educators. Oral health educator, we educate children to use mouth paste and a mouth treater to treat your mouth for white teeth, healthy gums and fresh breath and for lifelong oral health. The fun character SmileShine keeps reminding them that for smile shine you must ‘Treat Your Mouth’ white teeth, healthy gums and fresh breath. But to become really mouthwise, they’ll learn much more!.
Children’s smiles are the key to their future, white teeth, healthy gums and fresh breath. 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 oral 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. I hope we can impress upon children just how important to them are white teeth, healthy gums and fresh breath.
“The MouthWise™ Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web”
Lesson 1
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 1 Objective :
In “Visit 1 to GarGar The Dentist” our goal is to give children information on the things they put into their mouths, especially on the things they eat and drink and use to clean their teeth. We want them to have an understanding of the ingredients in foods, drinks and toothpastes. Two ‘Visits’ are devoted to this topic.
On the cover page of this lesson’s text book I have said “Children Have Fun and Discover the Basics of Good Oral Health”. The very first basic knowledge you will investigate is a simple understanding of the ingredients in foods, drinks and toothpastes which you continually put into your mouths. Do you think it is important to have a basic understanding of what you put into your mouths ? Of course you must!
