Fantastic Teeth Club 2017
Since 2010, over 180 first graders from Montclair Elementary, Smith Elementary, Meadowbrook Elementary and Woodlawn Elementary received free “Prevent Tooth Decay “kits from Del Mar Masonic Lodge 1350 through the Fantastic Teeth Club sponsored by the Masonic Home and School of Texas. This year John F. Kennedy Elementary in West Oso ISD was added to the program. 429 kits will be distributed to the first graders at each of the campuses. In partnership with the school nurses, a presentation on dental hygiene will be given and each child will receive a kit.
On Wednesday, January 25, 2017 the four Lodges that comprise Masonic District 37A met at Oso Naval Lodge to assemble 1584 kits. The four Lodges were Corpus Christi Lodge 189, Del Mar Lodge 1350, Oso Naval Lodge 1250 and Sunset Lodge 1388. Members and families of members came together to assemble the kits. Pizza was provided by the Program Office, and served by our host Oso Naval Lodge 1250. A great time was had by all, and everyone is excited about delivering the kits and participating in the presentations.
The Program aims to prevent suffering from tooth-aches due to tooth decay, thus reducing missed school days due to dental problems and in turn cutting dental treatment cost for their parents. Each kit contains a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, two-minute timer (optimal brushing time), healthy teeth sticker, and a “Tips for Healthy Teeth at any age” brochure, both in English and Spanish, which provide educational information for parents about the importance of caring for children's teeth. The focus is on preventing pain and suffering, as well as reducing the cost of dental services, and a summary of Masonic Home and School services.
The Fantastic Teeth Fan Club is a program of Masonic Home and School of Texas, a charitable organization serving children and families of Texas for more than a century. To learn more about MHS, visit www.mhstx.org.
