Kids Learn to Take Charge of Their Oral Health Playing Dental Defenders

Sometimes a little fun can help reinforce life’s important lessons. That’s why we developed the interactive Web game Dental Defenders. Dental Defenders combines kid-appealing graphics and game technology with critical lessons on the importance of brushing, flossing, and eating right.

Players become “dental defenders,” miniature heroes who patrol the mouth of a 10-year-old to protect it from the ravages of tooth decay. They also discover how different foods, such as cheese, gummy bears, and raisins, affect tooth decay - and win points based on their choices.

You’ve probably told your kids hundreds of times to brush. The next time they whine, “Why do we hafta?” tell them to check out Dental Defenders. They just might learn something!
