teeth to tusk

This is our programme with ‘bite’.  Humans and Animals utilise their Teeth to bite, rip, chew, grind and to defend themselves.  Only humans utilise their teeth to also, for example open bottles, break electric wiring and of course to look pretty when we smile! 

Humans also need their teeth to talk properly and to form certain sounds – just image how ‘Lovely Lolla, I like your lolly’ sound without teeth, and yet, we do not take care of our teeth properly!! 

We meet Bennie who continuously eats sweets without brushing his teeth until one day he had tooth ache which kept him awake all night and made him jump around.  We learn that the Dentist is our best friend and we he teaches us more about mouth hygiene, that we need to floss and brush our teeth after each meal.  A learner will get the opportunity to dress like Dr Clean Teeth to emphasise our message as we also talk about the fact that taking care of your teeth from Milk – to Permanent Teeth to even having braces, should never be neglected. 

We touch, feel and explore the teeth of Omnivores, Herbivores and Carnivores as well as their function – even dogs have their own toothpaste!!
