What is the Tooth Fairy Experience?

The Tooth Fairy Experience is a FREE program presented by Delta Dental of Washington in which the Tooth Fairy travels the state teaching K-2 students how to care for their smiles.

 

Why is the Tooth Fairy Experience important?

Did you know that more than 50% of children in Washington state will experience oral decay by 3rd grade? We created our FREE program to combat this. Our program partners with the Tooth Fairy to educate kids in kindergarten through 2nd grade classrooms to make oral health fun!

 

What is a Tooth Fairy presentation like?

The Tooth Fairy is available to visit classrooms in person and virtually! The 20-30 minute interactive presentations can be customized for each learning environment, and usually includes a storybook reading, fun teeth facts, proper brushing technique, tooth science experiment and sugar demonstration.

 

How can I learn more?

The Tooth Fairy Experience website has lots of great information, and it provides parents, educators, and dentists with fun, educational materials for kids, as part of their shared vision for a cavity-free Washington.
