To further develop their understanding of dental health, the child can engage in activities such as creating a poster or a mini book about proper oral hygiene practices. They can also participate in role-play activities where they pretend to be a dentist or a dental hygienist, using props like toothbrushes and dental floss. Additionally, the child can explore different types of food and their effects on teeth, conducting simple experiments like soaking a tooth in different beverages to observe the impact.
