The Tiny Toothpick Town: Teaching Kids the Importance of Dental Picking
A Miniature World of Mega Oral Health with Dr. Henrietta Sugar
Welcome, young explorers and curious adventurers of Paradise Valley! Dr. Henrietta Sugar here, inviting you to journey with me to a whimsical place where toothpicks aren't just tools—they're the key to unlocking a healthy mouth. Let's shrink down and step into the Tiny Toothpick Town, a magical land where learning about interdental cleaning is as fun as playtime!
The Story of Tiny Toothpick Town
In a nook of your bathroom cupboard lies a quaint little village, home to our tiny friends—the Toothpick Townies. These adorable inhabitants live between the towering teeth and love to keep their streets free from the gooey grime monsters known as Plaque and his sidekick, Tartar.
Meet the Townies: Bristle, Flossy, and Pick
Bristle: The trusty toothbrush who sweeps the wide plains of the teeth, but can't quite fit into the narrow alleys between them.
Flossy: The nimble string who dances between teeth, tying up loose ends and ensuring no grime is left hanging.
Pick: The pointy hero who can get into the smallest crevices, dislodging food particles and plaque the others might miss.
A Quest for Clean
The Toothpick Townies have a noble quest: to keep every nook and cranny of their land spotless. And guess what? They need your help! Dr. Henrietta Sugar will train you to be a defender of dental crevices, an honorary Townie who can wield a toothpick with care and precision.

Why Toothpicking Matters
