The Tiny Teeth Workshop: Crafting Strong Smiles in Paradise Valley

Dr. Henrietta Sugar Presents a Hands-On Haven for Future Dental Health Maestros

Welcome, creative kiddos and masterful moms and dads of Paradise Valley! Dr. Henrietta Sugar here, and I'm thrilled to extend an invitation to a world of wonder and wisdom: The Tiny Teeth Workshop. Here, we combine the artistry of crafting with the essentials of dental health, creating an educational experience that is both hands-on and heartfelt.

Unleashing Creativity for a Cause

In The Tiny Teeth Workshop, we'll sculpt, sketch, and storyboard our way to understanding the importance of taking care of our teeth, using the universal language of arts and crafts to foster a lifelong passion for oral hygiene.

Crafty Projects for Pearly Whites

  • Toothpaste Tube Art: Squeeze out the last bit of fun from empty toothpaste tubes as we turn them into colorful collages and sculptures, all while discussing the role of fluoride and its superpowers for our teeth.

  • Floss String Art: With colorful strings representing dental floss, we'll create intricate designs on canvas, emphasizing how floss weaves through our daily routines to keep our teeth strong and clean.

Building Brushing Models

  • Mouth Model Madness: Mold and paint an anatomical model of the mouth, complete with removable teeth. It's a tactile way to understand the structure of our chompers and why each one deserves our care.

  • Toothbrush Holders Crafting: Decorate and personalize toothbrush holders that make reaching for that brush a little more exciting each morning and night.

The Science of Smiles

Amidst the glitter and glue, every activity is an opportunity to delve into dental facts and figures, ensuring that the fun is also functional.

Edible Experiments

  • Acid Attack and the Eggshell Effect: Watch how an eggshell (similar in composition to our tooth enamel) reacts to acidic liquids and learn why we need to protect our teeth from these enamel enemies.

  • Sugar Rush and Crush: Witness the effects of sugar on our teeth through safe, observable experiments, and learn how to make smarter choices when it comes to sweet treats.

The Take-Home Toolkit

What's a workshop without a takeaway? Each mini dentist-in-training will leave with a toolkit that reinforces the day's lessons and prepares them for a future of bright smiles.

The Dental Defender's Manual

  • Personalized Booklets: Illustrated guides with tips and tricks for impeccable oral hygiene, tailored to each child’s age and needs.

Smile Supplies

  • Brushing Timers: Sand timers to encourage a full two minutes of brushing.

  • Fluoride Fortune Tellers: Origami-style fortune tellers that offer fun facts about fluoride with every fold.

Charting Success

  • Brushing and Flossing Charts: A creative way to track daily dental duties, turning each brush and floss into a stroke of achievement.
