Dinosaur Train “Rock Your Smile” Giveaway (2 Winners)

Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health.Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visitshelps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.  This year’s theme is “Rock Your Smile.”

Just like Buddy loses his teeth on Dinosaur Train, kids lose primary teeth to make way for permanent teeth. Tyrannosaurus Rex replaced their teeth throughout their lives but you only get two sets so it is especially important to practice good dental care. 

Follow these helpful tips for strong teeth and a healthy smile!

1.       Twice a day: Brush your teeth when you wake up and before you go to bed.

2.       Take your time: Brush your teeth for 2 minutes and be sure to include your tongue!

3.       Be kind to your gums: Brush with a soft bristle toothbrush.

4.       Get the hard to reach places: Floss your teeth every day.

5.       See your dentist twice a year!

And if you want to see Buddy learning about his teeth, please tune into Dinosaur Train on March 1 on PBS KIDS  to watch the “T-Rex Teeth” episode (check your local listings) and visit LINK TO INTERSTITIAL to watch Dr. Scott, the host of Dinosaur Train, tell us all about the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus and other carnivores, like sharks.  Both sharks and Tyrannosaurus’ lose their teeth, but those teeth are always replaced by new teeth.  Humans only get two sets of teeth, so it’s important to take good care of them!

T.rex Teeth

When Buddy loses a tooth, Mom takes him to Rexville to ask his Tyrannosaurus friends all about T. rex teeth. They explain that he'll grow new teeth to replace the old ones.

Fun Fact

T. rex's teeth were the size and shape of big bananas! By carefully observing the shape of a dinosaur's teeth, you can make predictions about what that dinosaur probably ate, which in this case is meat.

And now you have super clean teeth, you can “Rock Your Smile” as you hand out FREE Valentine’s Day Cards from Dinosaur Train.
