Brush Adventure Lesson
In this 10-minute individual session, the student will learn and practice proper tooth-brushing techniques—outer, inner, and chewing surfaces—using visual prompts and scripted coaching, aiming for independent performance as measured by the Brushing Independence Rubric.
Early mastery of tooth brushing builds essential self-care habits, fine motor skills, and confidence, promoting lifelong oral health and reducing risk of cavities.
