Lesson Instructions for MouthWise Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web (MOHSotW)
The theme for lesson 5 is “retain teeth white”
Oral Health Books ‘n C.D. ‘All About A Smile’. Oral health education at it’s best ! 10 Oral Health Books, number 2 of our oral health manuals, and one Oral Health C.D., “4 Your Smile 2 Shine”. Oral health educators, there is absolutely nothing mysterious about or difficult to retain teeth white. Simply educating children to use mouth paste and a mouth treater to treat your mouth, your teeth gums and tongue will retain teeth white. SmileShine keeps reminding them that for smile shine, which is in effect to retain teeth white, you must ‘Treat Your Mouth’ for a smile 2 shine. Learning to become completely mouthwise, children learn how to retain teeth white for the rest of their life.
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 5
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 5 Objective :
In “Visit 5 to GarGar The Dentist” our strategy is to give children additional information on plaque. On how plaque may build-up and on how the constituents in plaque are continuously changing
To learn about how bacteria in plaque break down food and drink debris in the plaque into harmful X.Y.Z. Also to learn that bacteria in plaque greatly increase in numbers and threaten healthy tissues.

The Treat Stamp advice is certainly true. To just brush your teeth is not good enough.

Carefully study the drawings on Page 9 and Page 10
Count the number of saliva drops in each layer of plaque. Do the same for Lurkeez. Then do the same for Nasteez.The things in plaque certainly change as it gets older. Do you agree ?
