We had a very exciting week last week in junior infants.  Anca Stamate a local dentist visited with us.   She spoke with the children about how to brush their teeth in order to avoid cavities.  The children played a guessing game where they guessed how many spoons of sugar are to be found in sweet drinks, treats and breakfast cereals.  Many of the children won prizes during this game.

Anca told the children that they must brush their teeth for 2 whole minutes twice a day.  We had great fun practicing this.  At the end of her visit, Anca shared a present with each of the children and invited the children to see her dental surgery in Drumgeely.

In the afternoon, the children walked to the dental surgery where they each had a chance to sit in the dentist’s chair as it was moved up and down…not at all scary!!  It was a very enjoyable trip and I’m sure the children are looking forward to their next trip to the dentist.
