What not Brushing
will get ya! added 2-22-98 Original

Need:
two clear cups, 2 eggs, vinegar, cola, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a
magnifying glass.
Soak an egg in a cup of cola
and a second one in vinegar. Overnight the eggs will turn brown and the
other one will lose it's shell. The cola one can show what happens if you
don't brush (It will come off with a toothbrush and toothpaste) The second
one shows that if the acid continually builds up in your mouth, it will
decalcify, just like the egg.

Have children make their own
toothpaste. Provide each child with a spoon and a plastic bag. Place bowls
of baking soda, salt and water in the middle of the table. Assist the
children in placing 4 teaspoons of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of slat, and 1
teaspoon of water in individual plastic bags. Ad a drop of food flavoring
extract, such as peppermint, mint or orange. The children can mix their
own toothpaste.
(Just as a hint: it
doesn't taste that great, regular toothpaste has a much better taste and
consistency.)
