Dental hygienist Michaela Paschke and dental assistant CJ Burwell talked to students about the importance of good oral hygiene at home. They went over important healthy home care dental habits such as brushing and flossing their teeth. They showed the students what can happen if you don't brush your teeth.

At Smile Savers Dentistry, we know that it's important for children to learn the importance of proper oral hygiene. Poor oral care behavior in under 12 year-olds contributes to many children in the U.S. having cavities.In fact, tooth decay is the number one chronic illness in children, with over 51 million school hours lost each year due to dental problems. Hygienist Michaela Paschke said “I enjoy visiting the Lake Elkhorn Middle School students and teaching them about proper oral hygiene and the risks of developing and maintaining bad habits.”
