Brush-a-mania is a not-for-profit program designed to promote oral health and awareness among young children from Junior Kindergarten to grade 6. It was started in 2001 by the Scarborough Rotary Passport Club and has already reached over a million students. Our purpose is to educate and motivate children and to bring together dentists, Rotarians, teachers and parents to create a celebration around proper dental care.
Each participating school will hold an assembly during the month of April, where a dentist and a Rotarian will come into the school and provide the children with an interactive, entertaining presentation in proper dental care. Each assembly will conclude with a Brush-off, where all participants brush their teeth simultaneously for two minutes. (Participation in the Brush-off is at the discretion of the Principal.) Schools may contact their assigned dentist to arrange in-class visits.
The students track their brushes for the entire month of April in the classroom and at home online. Each student receives a Colgate toothbrush and toothpaste, a Brush-a-mania instruction pamphlet, as well as, a Brush-a-mania sticker. When the students complete the online program, they will be able to print out a Brush-a-mania certificate of achievement. His or her name may be entered into a draw to win a Nintendo Switch or one of fifty Android tablets.
All supplies required to run the program will be delivered to participating schools mid-March.
There is no cost for City of Toronto schools. The Scarborough Rotary Passport Club fundraises every year to support these schools. For schools outside the City of Toronto, all supplies necessary to run the program may be purchased for $1 per student. (Includes delivery to the school.)
You may contact your local Rotary Club to assist you or you may wish to approach local sponsors. If one of your contacts sponsors Brush-a-mania, those funds could be used to fund your school.
You may search the Ontario Dental Association database for a dentist in your community.
