Cynthia: February 19
The interns at El Bichito (Cynthia, Erin and Jake) are doing some awesome things!
Check out the dental lesson they gave this past week!
We had an awesome time today learning about teeth and cavities and brushing and having beautiful smiles. We asked the kids why it was important to have clean teeth and got some great responses including “So you have clean teeth!”
We cut up some egg cartons and covered them in a flour paste so that the kids could practice brushing off the “plaque”, we made it a competition of who could get their “teeth” the cleanest.
We then had a little science experiment to demonstrate what happens to your enamel when it is exposed to acids. We painted a little egg and dropped it in a cup of vinegar. We are excited to show the kids that all the egg shell will have worn off by Monday! We passed out toothbrushes to all the kids who promised to brush their teeth every day. They were pretty happy.
Erin and Cynthia also blog about their service at El Bichito here.
