Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit educational organization behind Sesame Street, in partnership with Sam's Club and MetLife Foundation, has developed "Healthy Teeth, Healthy Me," a bilingual, multimedia outreach program designed to help motivate children 2 to 5 years of age, as well as their parents and caregivers, to focus on their dental health.
The groups will distribute 350,000 free outreach kits across the U.S.; the kits are also available at www.sesamestreet.org/teeth. "Healthy Teeth, Health Me" features new songs, animated segments, and celebrity guests, including Bruno Mars, David Hyde Pierce, Nicole Kidman, Amy Ryan, Wendy Williams, Jay Sean, Naomi Watts, and Liev Schreiber.
The outreach kits include an original Sesame Street DVD, a family booklet, public service messages, online community health providers guide, interactive online game, and a downloadable song to help make toothbrushing fun.
