Mouth Power Online

MouthPower Online offers users an interactive learning experience about oral health. There are six modules within MouthPower Online, each focusing on a different aspect of oral health and dentistry. In each one, a character named Mouthie serves as guide and, in some cases, as test subject, to help children explore and learn about oral health.

Food Station
Food Station The Food Station introduces the Food Guide pyramid, explores how a single meal item (such as a burrito) can contain many types of foods, and demonstrates healthy portion sizes of common foods.

Tobacco Station
Tobacco Station The Tobacco Experiment Station demonstrates some dangers of tobacco use in terms of oral health. Users drag cigarettes or chew tobacco into Mouthie's mouth and see the dangerous consequences.

Cleaning Station
Cleaning Station The Cleaning Experiment Station examines the consequences of various levels of personal dental hygiene, revealing the long-term effects of poor hygiene.

Your Tooth Story
Your Tooth Story Your ToothStory offers a mirror for users to look at their own dental history and make a timeline of key events in their life (such as their first adult tooth, etc.). It also shows typical development of teeth from birth to adulthood.

Dental Time Warp
Dental Time Warp The Dental Time Warp lets children compare dental tools and practices from the 19th century and today to see how the focus has shifted from painful intervention to painless prevention.

Creativity Corner
Creativity Corner The Creativity Corner lets users design a poster or product packaging to share their new knowledge about the dangers of tobacco with their peers. Users use a simple drawing program to make a poster about peer pressure, or tobacco packaging that tells the true story about tobacco addiction. They can then print their picture.
