Children gathered in the gymnasium assembly
style for a show-and-tell-like session with "Dr. Betsy."
Here they are looking at an X-ray that
shows both the 20 baby teeth and
the 32 adult teeth forming below.
Dr. Betsy and children had a good time
learning various things about
dental hygiene.
After a demonstration of how to brush their teeth,
they got a chance to practice
on some fun stuffed animals.
Dr. Betsy holds up the skull and asks if
anyone knows what kind of
animal it might be. Even the big kid in the back (Betsy's husband)
became
engaged in the presentations.
