Dinosaur Train Dental Tips and Giveaway

Did you know that February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, and of course February 14^th is Valentine’s Day. Buddy and his friends from Dinosaur Train would like to help you celebrate both!!

Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children’s Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health.Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. This year’s theme is “Rock Your Smile.”

To help you and your children “Rock Your Smile,” The Jim Henson Company is partnering with Sunstar Americas, Inc., who has just launched brand new Dinosaur Train themed toothbrushes! With the emphasis on making brushing fun for young children, Sunstar Americas, Inc. is featuring Buddy and Tiny on a new GUM® twin pack toothbrush set (SRP: ), available this spring at Meijer, H-E-B, and online at Gumbrand.com.

“5Terrific T. Rex Teeth Tips” from your buddies at Dinosaur Train!

And if you want to see Buddy learning about his teeth, please tune into Dinosaur Train on March 1 on PBS KIDS to watch the “T-Rex Teeth” episode (check your local listings) and visit LINK TO INTERSTITIAL to watch Dr. Scott, the host of Dinosaur Train, tell us all about the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus and other carnivores, like sharks.  Both sharks and Tyrannosaurus’ lose their teeth, but those teeth are always replaced by new teeth.  Humans only get two sets of teeth, so it’s important to take good care of them!

T.rex Teeth
When Buddy loses a tooth, Mom takes him to Rexville to ask his Tyrannosaurus friends all about T. rex teeth. They explain that he’ll grow new teeth to replace the old ones.

Fun Fact
T. rex’s teeth were the size and shape of big bananas! By carefully observing the shape of a dinosaur’s teeth, you can make predictions about what that dinosaur probably ate, which in this case is meat.

For more tips on how to “Rock Your Smile,” you might enjoy the FREE activity sheets for kids at the American Dental Association’s website, www.ada.org.
