A field trip to dentist

Monday, 10th of November, our field trip to dentist started at around 9.30 am in the morning showing a Sesame Street video to children about oral/ dental health at school. They also watched the rhyme 'Every day I brush my teeth'.

Before starting our field trip to dentist, we learned about oral health or role of a dentist.

We knew what 'dentist' do. "Dentists are doctors who specialize in oral health/hygiene."
Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping the mouth and teeth clean to prevent dental problems, most commonly, dental cavities, gingivitis, and bad breath.
The responsibilities of a dentist include:
  • Diagnosing oral diseases. 
  • Promoting oral health and disease prevention. 
  • Creating treatment plans to maintain or restore the oral health of their patients. 
  • Monitoring growth and development of the teeth and jaws. 
  • Performing surgical procedures on the teeth, bone and soft tissues of the oral cavity.
