National Tooth Fairy Day is a wonderful opportunity to promote and reinforce messages for good oral health with your youngest patients. There are many engaging ways to celebrate the holiday.
You can teach children the story of the Tooth Fairy while performing their dental checkups.
A few fun suggestions for activities include:
- Ask them to draw a picture of what they think the Tooth Fairy looks like while they are waiting to be called.
- Encourage your staff to talk with children about what they would like to get from the Tooth Fairy when they lose a tooth.
- Play movies like Rise of the Guardians and Tooth Fairy on your screens in the office.
- Tell them that the Tooth Fairy smiles every time when she finds a healthy tooth under their pillow.
- Encourage children to report back about what they got from the Tooth Fairy at their next dental checkup.
