Fighting against poor oral care in Kentucky, specifically Owensboro, children must be taught healthy dental hygiene. The purpose of Tooth Tales to go is to elementary schools provide students the importance of proper dental care.

 Kentucky has the 3 rd highest toothlessness rate in the nation (KYA).  In Kentucky, 46.8 percent of children ages 2, 3 and 4 had untreated problems such as a cavity or a missing tooth. This is double of the national average. (Governor's Blog, 2009)  Kentucky has the highest proportion of adults under 65 without teeth ( NYTimes, 2007)

 Educate kids on common dental problems, including side-effects of not brushing, not flossing, cavities and missing teeth.  Teach kids about dental care Brushing teeth twice a day Flossing teeth properly Proper brushing technique  Foods to Avoid Eating to Help Prevent Dental Problems  Pain caused by dental problems is a leading cause of missed school days in Kentucky (NYTimes, 2007)

 We would like to perform skits in costumes  Provide instructions on how to brush and floss properly in the skits  Teach the children the importance of brushing

We would like to improve the brushing and flossing habits of the children who attend the elementary schools we visit.

 Pick 2 elementary schools (TBA)  Perform a series of small skits to Kindergarten through 2 nd graders  Funny and educational skits  Teaching how to brush and floss, along with other dental issues.  Fun dental facts will be provided in between set-ups

 The Skits will  Involve a group of volunteer actors from our class  Contain a specific topic per skit like Brushing Flossing General Lessons  Information in skits includes  The proper procedure for brushing and flossing  Optimal time for brushing and flossing  Importance of visiting a dentist on time  Consequences of poor dental care

 The Brushing Chart purpose is to  Record the time of day they brush for 3 days  Place a sticker in the designated spaces  The Brushing Chart contains  Blank boxes to place the stickers  The day of the week  The time of day

Selecting Recipient Schools  The schools must have  A large population from kindergarten to 2 nd grade  250 or more  A gym, auditorium, or stage for us to perform in  Bleachers or seats for the students so they all see

 Allow us to come and perform the skits  Cooperate by distributing and collecting the charts  Return and/or provide the statistical data of the charts  Allow us to use volunteers from the crowd in our skits The Recipient School Must:

Implementation  The Life Science Academy will be in charge of the skits  We will arrange buses from the students’ home high school to the selected elementary school

Implementation  The teachers will be in charge of the brushing charts  Distribute them to their students  Collect the charts at the end of the 3 days  As an incentive, we will give the classroom with the most charts filled out in each grade a gift

 We expect to have 85% of students we talked to show an increased knowledge of proper dental care and related issues.  Of the 85%, we expect another 75% to fully complete the charts and turn them into the teacher by the required due date.  We will collect this data by having the teachers collect a poll from the students upon completion of each separate stage.

 Owensboro Health Community Benefit  Impact100  Local pediatric dentistry's

 The Community Dental Clinic.  Vision statement- “The Community Dental Clinic is a valued, effective and sustainable resource that significantly contributes to dental health and general health in our community and region.”

 In the end, we will be educating young children on healthy dental habits through enjoyable skits that their young minds will remember.  We would like to improve the brushing and flossing habits of the children who attend the elementary schools we visit.  This project will require approximately $550.
