Many people probably remember the oral hygiene presentation in school when an oversized toothbrush and "Mr. Tooth"demonstrated proper brushing techniques. Red disclosing tablets were chewed after brushing, and then friends were amazed with our poor dental habits! The point is that presentation was remembered. Middle school students today need a more sophisticated version of this important information that will encourage them to continue to practice proper oral hygiene habits. In order to accomplish this, the author designed a dental hygiene forum for middle level students that would reinforce their knowledge of oral hygiene, broaden their understanding of oral anatomy, and teach them about common oral diseases. A variety of methods were used to capture and hold the attention of the audience and several techniques were incorporated to measure the effectiveness of this presentation.
