60 Where There Is No Dentist 2012
Have the students score each other’s progress. Do not make it hard to
judge, or they will not do it. In the example below, the tooth is either clean
or not clean.
SCORING TEETH
Pick 4 teeth, a back tooth and
a front tooth—two on top and
two on the bottom.
Use the same 4 teeth for each
person. Look for food on each
tooth near the gums.
A clean tooth = 2 points.
A dirty tooth = 0 points.
Total possible points each day
is 4 teeth x 2 = 8 points.
In this example the score is:
Tooth 1 = 2 points
Tooth 2 = 0 points
Tooth 3 = 0 points
Tooth 4 = 2 points
Total = 4 points
Have each student put his daily score on a chart. At the end of the month he
can see how much he has improved.
