This week when you are coloring Easter Eggs take time to conduct this special “Egg” periment with your kids to better help them understand about plaque. Helping young children understand the importance of brushing thoroughly twice a day is a task all parents struggle with at times. This fun and easy science experiment, in which an egg is a stand-in for a tooth, can help your child visualize how plaque forms on their teeth and how proper brushing each day can remove it.
