In collaboration with the American Dental Hygiene Association, Sunstar, a leading producer of mouth and body care products, holds an annual contest offering first-year dental hygiene students prizes for the most creative, two-minute instructional videos that teach children the proper way to brush their teeth. “Be creative, fun and original,” Lilli Smothers, manager of student relations for the ADHA, advises dental hygiene student contestants.
 
The award money goes toward the winning school’s dental hygiene program.
