They also talked about foods that are good and bad for our teeth. Ms. Billie demonstrated the proper way to brush and care for our teeth. The 2nd grade students also had a visit from a local dentist, Dr. Nunez and his wife Brandee. They talked about the way to properly care for our teeth and answered many questions from an excited group of students. All students enjoyed their lesson on taking care of their teeth! 😁🦷🪥
