Sarah -
We installed our walk-thru Big Mouth exhibit in December 2004. It is
positioned at the junction of two distinct exhibit halls, where the original
arched doorway became the soft palate of the exhibit. Visitors walk up an
ADA ramp covered in red carpet to mimic the tongue and papillae/taste buds.
Older kids enjoy thumping the punching bag uvula. In addition to exploring
pediatric and adult dentition, the exhibit covers tooth anatomy, nutrition,
tooth morphology, dental care and the sense of taste.
I would be happy to share pictures and more details.
Cheers,
Kim

Hi Sarah,
We just installed an exhibit entitled "Healthyville" which concentrates on
how the body work, the choices you make to keep healthy and the resources
in the community that can help you. The primary focus of the exhibit is
nutrition, fitness, safety and hygiene.
As part of the exhibit, we have a dentist office in the Healthyville
Community Healthy Center. It is a small part of the 1,800 square foot
exhibit, but if you're interested, I can give you more information and send
you photos.
Sheri

This is an extension of our proposed Health and wellness exhibition, for
our 7 years and under children.
Does anyone have or know of a good interactive exhibit on children's
Dental Health?
Thanks
