Carey, the Tooth Fairy & Friends

Oral health education is essential for our children to learn healthy oral habits and prevent disease.

Arriving with her wings, wand and toothbrush, Carey and her friends will visit Kindergarten through 3rd grade students to talk about the importance of brushing and flossing their teeth, as well as eating healthy foods that will help prevent tooth decay.

Available in February for National for Children's Dental Health Month.

Presented in partnership with local dentists and dental hygienists.
