Program Description:

This spellbinding presentation is a magical prescription for children’s giggles, wiggles and healthy smiles!

Since the beginning of time Toothena the Tooth Fairy has collected teeth and left coins under children’s pillows. Although she is normally only seen in the enchanted moment between sleep and waking, she has decided to make herself visible to help stop the rise of tooth decay in children.

In character as Toothena the Tooth Fairy, CoraMarie reads Emily’s Magical Journey with Toothena the Tooth Fairy, and gives an interactive presentation that helps children:

• Develop habits of good oral hygiene through a dramatization of brushing and flossing
• See the magic in all they do 
• Learn the importance of giving 
• Make a difference through Project Tooth Fairy. 

Children leave Toothena’s presentation with a better understanding of the importance of oral health – for both themselves and girls and boys around the world.
