Land of Smiles
Delta Dental of Missouri's Land of Smiles program, starring the Tooth Wizard, his pal Panda and their arch-enemy, PlaqueMan, entertains and educates children on the importance of maintaining a healthy smile. During the show, children learn proper brushing techniques, how to floss, good and bad foods for the teeth and body, and why it is important to visit "their best friend, the dentist" at least twice per year. During the interactive show, the Tooth Wizard and Panda invite children to join them on stage to demonstrate the techniques learned. Children are also encouraged to participate in the question and answer segment at the end of the show. Each child is given a take-home goodie bag containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, a coloring sheet and a mirror decal to remind them to brush every day.
