Healthy Smiles NYC
A Free, Interactive Oral Health Presentation for Kids - at School!
Healthy Smiles NYC is Gramercy Kids Smiles’ community initiative to teach children and families about oral health, prevention, and healthy habits from an early age.
Dr. Fatina Shtivelman, a board-certified pediatric dentist, brings the lesson right to your classroom. In 15–20 minutes, kids ages 2–6 practice brushing and flossing with a fun stuffy, listen to a story from her book, and each child goes home with a goody bag that includes their own toothbrush and timer.

What Kids Learn
Brushing
Kids take turns brushing our stuffy’s teeth and learn to clean the fronts, backs, and tops. The timer in their goody bag helps them brush for a full two minutes at home.
Flossing
Kids find out why flossing matters: it cleans between teeth, where a toothbrush can’t reach. Then they practice on the stuffy.
Healthy Foods
With a coloring or sticker worksheet, kids learn which foods help keep teeth strong and which sugary snacks are best saved for a treat.
