- Abstract:
- The importance of a healthy, charming smile from childhood to old age is stressed. Good teeth are necessary for a good smile. Proper dental care begins in utero. A physician shows a pregnant woman a chart picturing the foods she should eat. Regular visits to the dentist should begin at about age two years. A dentist's waiting room filled with children is shown. A toddler and little boy are examined by the dentist in his surgery. Care of the temporary teeth is advocated. The dentist shows the boy how to brush his teeth. Good nutrition is stressed over footage of a mother and her little girl preparing the right foods in a kitchen. The contents of the refrigerator are shown. Dairy products are emphasized.
