DVD, NT Department of Health
http://health.nt.gov.au/Oral_Health/Resources/#EarlyChildhoodOralHealth
The Clean Teeth for Life DVD focuses on the oral health of Indigenous children and babies. It consists of two educational DVDs (one looping for use in a waiting area and one for use in a computer). The DVD follows a family's visit to a dental therapist and provides information about good oral health and a demonstration on brushing children's and babies' teeth. The resource is useful for schools, health clinics, Aboriginal Health Workers, and community groups.
