How to use the Beautiful Smiles ebook

Here are some ways you can engage with your child while using the ebook.

• Explore language: Point out the word “smile” in different languages and encourage your child to repeat the word even they aren’t talking yet. 

• Lullaby time: Read or sing the lullaby together. You can do this during or after brushing your child’s teeth.

• Smile! Your child can use the mirror at home to see their own smile. This is a chance for you to check their teeth for any concerns.

• Talk about healthy mouths: Talk about the importance of keeping little teeth strong and healthy.

• Make Beautiful Smiles part of your oral health routine. Read Beautiful Smiles before bedtime or after brushing teeth. Repetition will help to reinforce the importance of oral health.

The Beautiful Smiles ebook was developed in collaboration with Community Arts Network, Noongar creatives Cyndy Moody, Kobi Morrison and Tace Stevens, along with Western Australian families.
