Delta Dental of New Jersey proudly presents the Captain Supertooth program for schools in New Jersey. This program educates elementary school children about the benefits of good oral hygiene.

Using a giant red toothbrush and the children as teeth, Captain Supertooth educates children about:

• brushing
• flossing
• balanced diet
• visiting the dentist

Children in kindergarten through second grade may attend the presentation, which is totally free of charge. We provide this program to schools throughout New Jersey and Connecticut as a public service during Children's Dental Health Month (February).

The program normally lasts about 20 minutes and can be tailored to fit a school's needs.

Since the program began in 1990, Captain Supertooth has instructed more than 100,000 children about proper dental care. Because of the demand for this program, there is a waiting list. Teachers and school nurses should send an e-mail to place their school on the waiting list and, in the meantime, we'll send you a free video or DVD. Please specify either English or Spanish for the video, or English for the DVD.
