6th Graders get a Lesson in Oral Health

During the month of October Dr. Ehrmantrout invites local sixth graders from the North Thurston School District to visit for an in-office field trip! Students get to see firsthand what it’s like to work as a dentist and in a dental office. Dr. Ehrmantrout gives a one hour educational lesson with discussions and videos. Students then have four different stations they rotate through, including: dental records, dental problems and materials, general dental hygiene and last but not least a video game session. Throughout the field trip students learn about the importance of dental hygiene with a behind-the-scenes, hands-on look at what it takes to keep their teeth looking great.
