Beaming, healthy smiles are the future for an early childhood centre in the Western Bay after it triumphed in an annual oral health challenge.
Early childhood centres across the Western Bay were invited to take part in the annual World Oral Health Day Challenge - organised by the Bay of Plenty District Health Board Oral Health Promotion team.
Tauranga's The Tot Spot came out on top.
"It's a great promotion and it was wonderful to win, we certainly put a lot of work into it," said The Tot Spot teacher Cheryl Loveday.
"We did lots of creative activities, we made mouths and teeth out of play-doh and paper, we had books, stories and songs on oral health, we dressed up as teeth, we watched movies, made fruit kebabs and smoothies, and did lunchbox promotions looking at healthy lunchboxes and drinking water.
