Important dental hygiene practices and tips were shared with students grades pre-K through second at Bosti Elementary School when dental hygienists Theresa and Belinda from the East Islip Dental Care group recently visited the school.

The visitors spoke with the students about how important it is to take care of their teeth, the proper methods of brushing and flossing as well as the importance of eating healthy. Along the way, volunteers were called from the audience to help answer questions about how to go about making the best dental care choices. 

East Islip Dental Care also provided little gift bags that included toothbrushes and toothpaste for the students in an effort to assist them in maintaining their healthy smiles.
