5 Ways to Celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month with Potter!

In celebration of National Children’s Dental Health Month, First 5 Santa Clara County is sharing five otter-ly fun resources to help families build healthy dental habits early!

Potter reminds young learners that healthy habits start now—don’t delay! Avoid sugary drinks, visit the dentist regularly, and brush and floss every day. Together, these playful and engaging resources make learning about dental health fun, positive, and easy for children at home, in early learning settings, and throughout our community.

1. Download our free coloring page!

2. Watch our animated video about Potter brushing his teeth!

2. Sing along to Brush, Brush, Brush by Potter the Otter! This 2-minute brushing song is just the right length to keep kids smiling while they brush.

4. Listen to our audiobook, Potter the Otter Visits the Dentist! (Available to listen in English and Spanish)

5. Purchase the book Potter the Otter Visits the Dentist to read at home!

Share how you use our Potter the Otter dental resources! Tag us on Instagram and Facebook. Happy brushing!
