Acid Attack Why do I have to brush my teeth is a common question asked by kids. And of course we explain the reason why over and over again. Next time show your students why they have to brushing is so important. 1.) Show students a hard boiled egg. 2.) Ask them, 'Why do you think there is a shell around the egg.' 3.) Let the students respond. Make sure they come to the conclusion that the hard shell protects the egg.
4.) Now give them you best smile and say, 'See my teeth? Just like the egg my teeth are protected. Enamel protects my teeth the same way the shell protects what is inside the egg.' 5.) Pour two cups of vinegar into a large jar. 6.) Have a student place the egg in the jar. 7.) Replace the lid on the jar and place the jar in a safe place for student observation. 8.) Ask the students to predict what they think will happen to the egg.
9.) Write the students response on a large piece of paper that will be hung in your room. 10.) When 2 days have passed, slowly and gently remove the egg from the jar.
11.) Allow each student to look at the egg and compare their predictions with the results. Conclusion: Tell the class that the vinegar caused the shell of the egg to break down and become soft, the same way that tooth enamel is damaged by acid and bacteria in the mouth. Brushing every day is the only way to keep this from happening. Hand out a large tooth for the children to write a sentence and draw a picture to illustrate why teeth brushing is important.

Show the children the apple. Tell them to pretend that it is a tooth. Poke a hole into the apple. Explain to the children that holes, or cavities, can form in our teeth when we don&rsquot brush, floss, eat healthy foods, and visit the dentist regularly.
The hole you just put in the apple is the cavity. Set the 'tooth' in the science center. Have the children record what happens during the week by writing down or drawing observations. At the end of the week, discuss the class&rsquo findings.
Ask questions like would you want your tooth to look like this? How are some ways we can keep from getting cavities? When you get a cavity, what should you do? FLOSSY, FLOSSY, FLOSSY THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED: Yarn for every two children Dental floss for each child THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:. Explain to children that flossing teeth is just as important as brushing them because floss gets all of the things brushing misses. Have each pair of students face each other.
One student is the 'teeth' and the other child is the flosser. Have the teeth person hold his/her hand spread open and up. Show the flosser how to twist the yarn around each finger for a good grip. The flosser then takes the yarn and flosses between the fingers in an up and down motion scraping the sides between the fingers.
When they are done, have them switch jobs. Hand out floss to each child. Have them practice flossing their teeth.
