The British Dental Health Foundation has a range of brightly coloured hygiene demonstrators to help get the oral health message across. The brightly coloured animals from the six-puppet range include Brusher Boa and Mustang Max, Bugsy Malone, Freddy Flossisauras, Doogan the Dog and Alexander the Alligator. The demonstrators can capture the imagination of children in order for the oral health educator to demonstrate brushing and flossing techniques, the organisation claims. They include a hidden water squirter and large toothbrush.
