In their IPC lessons, as part of their 'How Humans Work' unit, the children have been learning about the different types of teeth, the main job for each type of tooth and how animal teeth differ to human teeth. They have considered the importance of oral health and the importance of visiting the dentist regularly. They have also considered the importance of effective brushing to ensure they avoid cavities.
The children have had great fun using disclosing tablets to highlight the key areas that are more susceptible to decay. The purple tablets show a pink area if the teeth have not been cleaned properly and areas which may contain plaque.
As you can see from our photographs, the children found this a very enjoyable investigation whilst learning some very important information about their own teeth along the way!
