Dental heath...learning with Coke?

This morning students learned about baby teeth, adult teeth, plaque, and how to brush.  They practiced their great brushing skills (tiny circles-soft pressure) on chicken eggs that had been soaked in Diet Coke.  Quite a lot of scrubbing was required to get rid of the stains.  Not one egg came completely white again!  
Kind kids who know how to take turns.

Once plaque has formed on the teeth it is a lot like that Diet Coke, really tough to get rid of without some fancy dental tools!
