Where's Toothy?
Please select a school:
Tatnall
Tatnall School students were happy to see Toothy. Even though National Children's Dental Health Month was in February, some of Toothy's visits were postponed because of all the snow days.
Brandywine
Toothy visited Brandywine Springs School. Some of the 1st grade students were surprised to find out they should brush their teeth before you go to bed.
Immaculate Heart of Mary
Toothy had fun at Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM), where a young lass asked, "Why do we have gums?" What a great question! The function of our gums is to cover the bone. Together, healthy gums and bone support the teeth to keep them strong.
Odyssey
The children at Odyssey Charter Lower School loved seeing and hugging Toothy. After hearing about the differences between healthy and unhealthy snacks, one child commented, "My mom should hear this when she packs my lunch!”
Mt. Pleasant
Toothy went back to Mt. Pleasant to visit 1st grade classes. Pictured next to Toothy in the red shirt is Jonas Wahl, the son of our own Dr. Jean and Dr. Pat.

Mt. Pleasant

All Saints
Toothy visited Mrs. Nancy Raymond's 2nd grade classroom at All Saints Catholic School. Mrs. Raymond has been a longtime patient of Dr. Mike's (and Dr. Mervin's before him) and is a "missionary" of good dental health and hygiene to her students. When Toothy visited another classroom, some of the students were eager to talk about their parents' soda-drinking habits.
Lancashire Elementary School

A Visit to Carrcroft Elementary
Toothy visited Carrcroft Elementary, where one curious student asked, "What does the uvula do?" After researching it, we discovered that the uvula, the "dangly thing" at the back of the palate, probably helps in some way with speech. Toothy says, "Great question, small fry!"
