Dentistry 

Teeth do a lot more than just peek out from under that winning smile. They have all sorts of duties, and having healthy teeth will help a person to eat, speak, and look great. 

REQUIREMENTS NOT COVERED: Requirement 3 & 4c 

PREREQUISITES 

Requirement 3  

• Arrange for a visit with a dentist. Before you go, ask whether your visit can include a dental examination and a plaque-control demonstration. Afterward, ask questions about things you want to know. Then tell your counselor what the dentist does during a checkup examination. This can be done before or after class.  Proof of examination must be brought/emailed to the merit badge counselor.

Requirement 4c  

• Keep a record of everything you eat for three days. Circle those items that may provide the sugars that bacterial plaque needs to make acid. List snacks that you should avoid to help maintain the best oral health.
