health week will be made.

to take care o f your teeth and motivating youngsters to take care of their teeth. Table-Top Display • This cardboard display is designed to be used to call attention to the importance of attractive looking teeth. The exhibit may be placed in reception rooms, store windows or school lobbies or displayed at health fairs or similar events. The display shows a man looking in a mirror. Before the flashing light goes on, the mouth is seen in a closed position. When the light flashes on, the mouth opens. “ Look at your teeth . . . everyone else does!” says the lettering at the top of the display. It is suggested that a mir ror be placed beside the exhibit, to en courage passers-by to look at their teeth. The displays are 26 inches wide and 24/a inches high. They may be purchased from the Order Department, American Dental Association, for $8 each. They are not available for rental. Toothbrushing Kits • Each kit contains sufficient material for a classroom of 35 pupils. It includes a leaflet ( “ You Can Teach Toothbrushing” ) for the teacher, 35 children’s toothbrushes, 35 small post ers for the youngsters to paste on their bathroom mirrors at home, and 35 leaf lets ( “ Help Your Child to Good Dental Health” ) for the children’ s parents.
If the children learn in school how to brush their teeth and then receive en couragement from their parents at home, they are much more likely to form good dental health habits. This is why the kit provides material for teacher, children and parents. Toothbrushing kits may be purchased from the Order Department, American Dental Association, for $3 each, no more than many dental societies and women’ s auxiliaries are now paying for brushes to give to school children.
