Ultimate List of Dental Health Ideas for the Classroom

It’s February and that means National Childrens Dental Health Month. I know many teachers, use this as an opportunity to integrate this theme into curriculum, so I created this Ultimate List of Dental Health for the Classroom.

 

 

Dental Health Books

I have searched all over the inter-web for books and {FREE} resources for teachers to be able to resource and use during the month of February or whenever you teach on dental health. I hope you find everything posted here helpful and useful for your classroom.

Almost everything posted in this post has a clickable link to where it can be downloaded or accessed. Book links are directed to Amazon.

I love to use books to help provide background information on the subject, topics, or themes that I am teaching. Kids seem to immediately make connections between their previous knowledge and the topic at hand. And of course, books provide new information, as well as give opportunities for discussion and questions. Below is a great list of books to use when teaching Dental Health.
