Our MouthScience® Power of pH Lesson provides 3rd through 6th grade students with an engaging, hands-on experiment that demonstrates the levels of acid and sugar contained in common drinks. The purpose of the exercise is to motivate students to make intentional and healthier drink choices that will decrease their chances for cavities and gum disease.

School-based cavity prevention clinics provide free dental sealants, fluoride varnish and oral health instruction at school during school hours. This is important because sealants need to be placed as soon as possible after permanent molars come in: that’s around 2nd grade (1st molars) and 6th grade (2nd molars).

According to the National Youth Sports Safety Foundation, more than 3 million children lose teeth each year while practicing or playing games. The Delta Dental of Oklahoma Foundation has launched a statewide initiative to encourage young athletes to wear mouthguards while playing sports.
