The Saskatchewan Oral Health Coalition and Canada's Tooth Fairy partnered to implement the Dakota Dunes Dental Project using the Tooth Fairy 101 Community Education Kit. Twenty-five schools with high dental risk were selected, where over 100 students in grades 5-7 were trained to present the kit's curriculum and lessons to younger students using props like a giant toothbrush. The presentations reached over 2,500 students and helped them learn how cavities form in an accessible way. Feedback was collected on the success of the program.
