Kids in the US have quizzed dental professionals about their oral health.
Children from a school in the US have been asking students from Flint Hills Technical College on how best to maintain good oral health.
Pre-school pupils from Maynard Early Childhood Center were visited by the trainee dentists to help field any questions they may have about their teeth and keeping them in top condition.
Questions ranged from why it is important to brush regularly, through to what can happen if a person has poor oral health.
The kids were also treated to a visit from Major Molar who led them in a song to emphasise how best to brush their teeth. Sang to the tune of Row, Row, Row your Boat, it went: “Brush, brush, brush your teeth, brush them every day; right, left, up, down, brush the plaque away.”
Elsewhere, research carried out by the Pew Centre recently revealed that a fifth of children in the US do not see a dentist every year.
It concluded that most US states lack key policies to ensure children are provided with annual dental health check-ups.
