"Brush Your Teeth....Round and Round"

Our very own Dr. Marcos Lux taught our health promoter class today. We learned about cavity prevention and periodontal disease. Did you know that within 20 minutes of eating, the bacteria in your mouth (stretococus mutans and it's assistant lactobacillus) are producing cavity-causing acids?! Everyone seemed to enjoy the class and we all learned or re-learned about the importance of preventive care. And after lunch we all (some before 20 minutes were up) brushed! Thanks, Marcos! Of course it wouldn't be a proper class without a test. Here are some shots of folks sweating the exam and then picking out prizes (those with the top grades got to pick first).
