One of the most important things we can do is keep our teeth clean, strong, and healthy. Our teeth play an important role in breaking down our food through the process of digestion. And scientists learn more every day about the connections between our teeth and gums – and our overall health.

Dental Health Month Math Fun

Let’s start off with some great Dental Health Month math resources. Every elementary teacher and parent knows that getting those basic math facts ingrained into the minds of students takes a lot of work and practice. These cute and toothy Dental Health Month puzzles are a fun way to practice! There are different types to choose from, so you can easily challenge your higher students while giving your other kids the time to practice at their appropriate level as well.

Various Dental Health Month activities are available below. Click on the one/s that are most appropriate for your students.

Not a math teacher? No worries!

I also have this editable tooth puzzle you can use for any other topic – language arts, foreign languages, harder math conceps, vocabulary, or whatever else you want to type into the space.

And let’s not forget that the finished teeth puzzles above make GREAT bulletin boards, doorway decorations, or even hallways displays! Students can cut out and complete their puzzles, then color them in whatever creative way comes to mind – braces, cavities, etc. The finished displays of teeth look amazing!.
