Our ProgramsDental Health programs at the Poe Center educate your children on oral hygiene and the care and maintenance of the teeth and gums. While our Mr. Big Mouth and the Sugar Bugs, are able to bring brushing and flossing to life at our Raleigh facility, their messages and information can be translated anywhere! Our talking tabletop tooth, Sherriff Tuffy Tooth and his trusty sidekick, Bucky, make their way to schools throughout NC, spreading the messages of good oral health and hygiene! This section of our website is designed primarily as a place where families can come to learn about our programs, find answers to dental health-related questions and obtain fun and exciting resources to help children and adults learn about the importance of dental health and oral hygiene! |
