LUCKY BOOKS

DENTAL CLINIC
Did you know? An electric toothbrush is between 11-15% more effective at removing plaque from our teeth than a normal toothbrush. An electric toothbrush can make tooth brushing more fun for kids and some even come with timers—cool because two minutes is best. Anne & Sarah.

FUN WITH TE REO
Be careful and look after each other. Kia tupato, me tiaki tetahi I tetahi.
