Delta Dental of South Carolina’s Land of Smiles® Show Teaches Beaufort County Elementary School Students Good Habits for Healthy Teeth
Delta Dental of South Carolina’s popular, Land of Smiles® dental education program is taking its crusade for healthy teeth to more than 9,400 youngsters at 38 schools across the state.
The interactive, free Land of Smiles® program is a fun, age-appropriate show that follows superhero Captain Super Grin®, as he defeats his nemesis, Caz CavitySM, with help from his sidekicks Terri Tooth FairySM and ToothpickSM.
This past Thursday and Friday, the cast of dynamic super-hero characters stopped in Beaufort County, South Carolina, visiting more than 800 kindergarten through third-grade students at Riverview Charter School and Elliott Elementary School in Beaufort, Saint Gregory the Great Catholic School in Bluffton, and Whale Branch Elementary School in Seabrook.
Students learned the importance of brushing teeth twice a day, flossing, using mouthwash, eating healthy foods and visiting the dentist regularly. Each student also received a “smile bag” with a toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss to help them practice the good oral health habits they learned.
Since its inception in the fall of 2014, the Delta Dental of South Carolina’s Land of Smiles® program has taught more than 325,000 kids how to take care of their growing smiles through more than 1,200 onsite and virtual performances at schools in 45 South Carolina counties.
