Photography of Dental Plaques stained after toothbrushing.
Cheek retractors are required for children to look at the inside of their mouth and teeth using a hand mirror by himself.
Right-and-Left set for 20 children.

Because of the limited hours for our Dental Camp,toothbrushing instruction cannot be individually given to every child.
Therefore, all children have to check the state of their mouth, teeth, and remaining dental plaque by themselves using a hand mirror etc...
It is the first step of managing their own health!

In our dental camp , the sufficient tooth-brushing instruction cannot be individually given to every children by the limitted hours as mentioned above.
So, the state of a child's tooth-brushing and mouth (= remnant plaque) should be checked by themselves.
Small self-standing mirrors and cheek retractors were prepared.
The molar teeth which may turn into caries cannot be clearly seen without cheek retractors.
But it was fairly difficult for any child to use retractor by themselves.
The right way to look inside mouth with the cheek retractor is to pull it sideways instead of pulling it backwards.
When looking from the side, pull back.

Then, two kinds of soft and small retractors are prepared.
A ring is attached so that a finger may pull a retractor and let the mouth open widely.
The smaller retractor with a deep color is for early elementary grades.
A little larger and a light-colored retractor is for upper grades.
But even for the upper(elder) classes, retractors are smaller than the smaller size in dental clinics.
Disinfection by Boiling water etc. are possible.

Many schools do not have lighting in Bangladesh.
We would like to prepare the mirror to which small LED was attached.

Since the instrument for dental clinics are usually expensive, We will use some cheap imported toy.

There are many staining kit. So, We must take both cost and convenience(time required to stain) into consideration.

Tablet type & Tooth/Dental paste type are convenient/easy to use for children by themselves.

Checking tooth brushing every day on a Tooth brushing calendar will encourage children to establish good habits..
