Introducing our Dental Health Education Kit for young children ages 3-6.
Parents, guardians, and caregivers are the ultimate role models for children when it comes to oral health habits at home. By encouraging good dental routines and healthy food choices, you can help your little ones develop a lifetime of healthy smiles and overall wellness. Borrowing this kit from the library makes dental care fun and engaging for your child, setting them on the path to excellent oral health from an early age.
Please note: The Okanagan Regional Library does not provide health advice. The content contained in this kit is supported by Interior Health.
