Canton Valley Dental Visits Cherry Brook Primary School (CBPS)

Canton, CT – February is Children’s Dental Health Month. Canton Valley Dental visited Cherry Brook Primary School on Wednesday February 28th, to educate the students on the importance of good oral health and homecare. The presentation addressed 460 children from Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade classes. Dr. Matthew Keefe, DMD and Tina Hebert, CDA (Certified Dental Assistant), helped students “brush up” on their tooth care knowledge and homecare practices. They emphasized the importance of proper nutrition and its role in good oral health, while showing the children proper home care techniques. Each child received a “goodie bag.” The weekly email sent to the children’s parents mentioned the presentation and asked them to discuss what was learned with their children to further promote better homecare practices.

Canton Valley Dental’s goal is to assist the community in achieving a healthy, confident smile. They partnered with Cherry Brook Primary School to promote dental health and educate the children. Encouraging proper tooth care habits in children significantly increases the chance for a healthy mouth as an adult.
