Smile! It’s Tooth Day
Activity Conducted at GD Goenka Public School Lucknow on Dental Hygiene
Dental health is a crucial aspect of our overall well-being. Proper dental care helps prevent cavities, gum diseases, and other oral health issues that affect our daily lives. By raising awareness and educating our students about dental hygiene, we aim to instill lifelong habits that ensure healthy and happy smiles.
To spread awareness amongst the Lil Goenkans, on July 5, 2024, GD Goenka Public School, Lucknow organized a “Smile! It’s Tooth Day” activity to educate young students about dental hygiene and the importance of maintaining healthy teeth. The teachers explained to the students the importance of brushing and the correct way of brushing their teeth through awareness videos. The young Goenkans of Toddler, Nursery, and LKG pasted the healthy and unhealthy food items on sad and happy teeth cutouts. This activity helped them to understand the importance of healthy teeth and enhanced their critical thinking.
The children of the class Nursery matched the different food items that keep their teeth healthy or decay their teeth. The young ones sorted healthy and unhealthy food items. They were provided with a box with happy and sad teeth cutouts for sorting healthy and unhealthy food items. The students of Grade I learned how to brush their teeth through an activity. The Grade II students were asked to colour one tooth yellow and the other one to remain white and describe why this tooth turned yellow and how the rest remained white. They also shared their views on how they can prevent their teeth from cavities and decay.
It was a fun-filled, knowledge-enriching activity for little ones for a healthy smile.
