Create

Create a short movie that supports children at Pt England to take best care of their precious teeth!

Some ideas:

  1. Guide to brushing correctly
  2. Share stats of NZ children with tooth decay
  3. A futuristic view on what happens when teeth are not cared for
  4. The good life of having all your teeth for all if not most of your life! (Enjoying all foods etc)
