Dental Hygiene

On Tuesday 20th May the Junior Syndicate started our Tuesday afternoon rotations.  Room 13 were working in their own classroom looking at 'Dental Hygiene'.  We talked about the parts of a tooth and how to clean our teeth properly.

We checked to see that we had brushed our teeth properly!

We also talked about the things that we eat and drink and how they can cause tooth decay - we learnt that even the natural sugar in oranges and apples can cause decay.  We also took a can of coke and measured out how many teaspoons of sugar there are in a can.  We guessed two, three, maybe four but we were shocked when we learnt how many there are!

Did you know there are 9 teaspoons of sugar in a 333ml can of coca-cola!
