High Tech Dental Field Trip

The Four Stars class visited High Tech Dental in Manistee as part of their Dental Health Month lessons.  The children met with Dr. O'Donnell and hygienist Amy Evans to learn about proper brushing and dental care.  The each were able to chew a disclosing tablet that stained their teeth pink and showed the "sugar bugs" hiding in their teeth.  Dr. O'Donnell showed them where they need to brush a little bit better.  The class enjoyed the trip and each left with a bag full of goodies to help them take care of their teeth.
