BRUSHAROO PROGRAM

(FOR PARENTS & FAMILIES)

The Brusharoo Program is a fun, school-based oral health education experience delivered by Smiles on Wheels.
Through storytelling and interactive learning, children build simple, lifelong habits that support healthy teeth and positive attitudes toward dental care.

MEET BRUSHAROO
Brusharoo is a friendly kangaroo who helps children learn how to care for their teeth in a way they understand and enjoy.
Children also meet:

• Flossie the Sugar Glider
• Chompy the Croc

Together, they make learning about brushing, sugar, and healthy habits fun and memorable.

🪥 WHAT CHILDREN LEARN

Children explore key oral health messages, including:
✔ Brushing twice daily (morning & night)
✔ How sugar affects teeth
✔ Healthy drink choices
✔ Building strong daily habits
✔ Feeling confident about dental care

WHAT HAPPENS IN A BRUSHAROO VISIT

Each session includes:

• Story-based learning
• Interactive demonstrations
• Fun group participation activities
• Simple visual explanations of oral health
• Take-home reinforcement ideas for families

Designed to be engaging, age-appropriate, and easy to remember.

WHY PARENTS LOVE IT

It supports:
