5 Questions that will brighten your smiles...
1) What’s included in my Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® kit?
This year’s kit adds on to last year’s program with a variety of engaging, easy-to-use activities — and each component fits easily into your existing curriculum. Here’s what’s included:

IN THE CLASSROOM:
• New! Interactive and engaging Board Game
• New! 8-page Teacher’s Guide Supplement

FOR EACH STUDENT:
• Parent Packet (English and Spanish)
• Family activities, oral health information, and a toothpaste sample and coupon
• Read-together Bright Smiles storybook (English and Spanish)

2) Should I continue using last year’s kit?
Yes! The video, poster and teacher’s guide from last year’s kit remain your primary tools for teaching oral health. The new supplemental kit — including a new Board Game and an updated Teacher’s Guide Supplement — will add new dimensions to your teaching and classroom activities.

3) Where is my Supplemental Kit being sent?
Your new kit is being sent to the same address we used last year.

4) What if I’ve moved or need to update class-size information?
Please update your address at http://kindergarten.colgatebsbf.com. There, you can also update the number of students you have so that we can send you the appropriate number of parent packets and storybooks.

5) What if I no longer have last year’s kit?
Please call 1-800-414-2331.
