DescriptionA teacher holds a set of plastic teeth to help instruct young children on teeth cleaning at a public school in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is seated on a wooden chair and several young children are seated in a semi-circle in front of her. One boy has his mouth wide open to imitate the way the plastic jaw is open on the teacher's lap. On the back wall are three posters about keeping teeth healthy.
