CLASS 5— Health and Hygiene 43 COURTESY TITLE REEL NO. CLASS FIVE HEALTH AND HYGIENE Courtesy of DELLAROWE LABORATORIES, LTD. 3000 BOBBY'S BAD MOLAR Frankly intended as an object lesson to teach the importance of caring for the teeth properly, this film is an excellent example of how much important and interesting" information can be set forth in one reel of film. Because he neglects to take care of his teeth, Bobby gets a toothache and is sent to the dental hygienist of the school. She examines his teeth and finds a decayed molar. With the aid of a large model of a set of teeth she explains to Bobby how food lodges in the hollows of the teeth and forms an acid which corrodes the teeth. Bobby's mother takes him to a dentist. After his teeth have been filled and cleaned, Bobby is asked to tell the class what he has learned about keeping teeth clean. He shows them the proper way to brush them. While it stresses the care of children's teeth, this film is also of interest to adults. 1 Reel Courtesy of DELLAROWE LABORATORIES, Ltd. 3001 CLARA CLEANS HER TEETH This film is truly of great instructional value to children and also adults. The proper care of our teeth is a very important part of the health of the human being. This film is constructed around a story of little Clara. While playing with her playmates they notice that her teeth are in very poor condition and that she experiences a great deal of difficulty eating her food and chewing it properly. The teacher of the school, having the general welfare of her pupils at heart, provides each child with a tooth brush and carefully instructs them as to the proper method of brushing the teeth. Clara is very lax in appreciating the value of such instruction until the time comes when she must visit a dentist because her teeth have become so badly decayed. After her visit to the dentist she is mighty proud to note the great improvement in her little mouth and also is relieved as there is no longer any pain. You must see this film to appreciate its value. This is a very forceful story, interesting in its entirety and valuable from a standpoint of education. 1 Reel Teachers!
