PHC is very excited about a project we have just finished. The Texas Legislature passed House Bill 2483 which adds oral health education as part of the coordinated school health program guidelines. In response to this legislation the health center wanted to produce a short, fun, video that would teach children things like how to brush their teeth, floss, and proper nutrition for good hygiene. The video is just under 5 minutes in duration and will become an important tool to help teachers educate children. We are making the video available on our Facebook page and Web page under Education for educators to use. We will also make copies available for local schools that send a request to us. We hope that this project will benefit children and help educators so that dental hygiene and oral health will become an easy topic to teach and one that children can learn quickly in our schools.
