February is National Children's Dental Health Month sponsored by the American Dental Association. Chair for Provo District’s Dental Health Committee, Sharon Wiest, has organized a puppet show. With the help of many volunteers, the show will be presented at 30 elementary schools in Utah valley during the month. “Rocky’s Smile” was also presented at the Spanish Fork library on February 8th where parents were able to bring their families and enjoy the show together."Rocky's Smile” was written by Lisa Arrington and is brought to life by marionette puppets designed and hand made by Ree Roper. This fun and educational puppet show is a great way to entertain children and at the same time teach them about the importance of taking care of their teeth. A demonstration of how to brush and floss is a new addition to the show this year. Children will learn that regular visits to the dentist can help keep their smiles bright and beautiful.
In the picture above from left to right: Sharon Wiest, Ree Roper, Cathy Bennett, Allison Atwood, Elisabeth Oldham and Marilyn Atwood are a few of the volunteers that helped with the puppet show this year.

Proper dental care begins before a baby's first tooth appears. Just because you can't see the teeth doesn't mean they aren't there. Teeth actually begin to form in the second trimester of pregnancy.
