Font Size:

Children are learning from an expert, about how to keep their teeth healthy.

This "tooth fairy" doesn't have money to pass out...but she does have a lot of advice.

Ginny Powers, who normally works in orthodontist Scott Eckels' office, has been to area elementary schools with a message about dental health she hopes is fun for the youngsters.

"I regularly see 40 schools in the area, in three counties, and see second and third graders," Powers told us. "It's been a really great program, and I get a really great response. They keep calling me to come back, so it's working."

Powers Friday visited the kids at Emerson School. She hopes they pick up good habits about taking care of their pearly whites...which last through adulthood.
