The Lessons In A Lunch Box: Healthy Teeth Essentials & Facts About Snacks program was developed by The Children’s Oral Health Institute, a nonprofit organization based in Maryland. The program was created to help children to begin learning early, throughout grade school, about taking care of their teeth, eating healthy, and considering career options in dental medicine.
