Winning art by children<br />
from around the world<br />
Since 1991, <strong>Colgate</strong> Bright Smiles, Bright Futures ® has reached 500 million children worldwide.
Over Years<br />
of Oral Health Education<br />
for Children!<br />
The award-winning <strong>Colgate</strong> Bright Smiles, Bright Futures ® global oral health education program continues to spread smiles<br />
to children everywhere. Each year, Bright Smiles, Bright Futures TM (BSBF) reaches over 50 million children and their families in<br />
30 languages and 80 countries throughout the world!<br />
The BSBF Philosophy<br />
From the tiniest community to the most populated urban center, BSBF inspires kids to take control of their own oral health. Using Dr. Rabbit and<br />
Dr. Brushwell — the engaging cartoon dentists — as its mascots, the program speaks out to children in ways that intrigue and inspire them.<br />
Bright Smiles, Bright Futures TM is a comprehensive<br />
classroom program — but it’s a philosophy, too.<br />
It’s all about giving teachers, children, and families<br />
the tools they need to make good oral health<br />
a permanent part of their lives. With its focus<br />
on prevention, the program builds self-esteem<br />
and teaches good oral health practices that help<br />
children’s smiles last a lifetime.<br />
Welcome to the World of <strong>Colgate</strong> Bright Smiles, Bright Futures ® . . .<br />

Pre-K — 3<br />
Making It Easy to Teach Oral Health!<br />
With BSBF, oral health becomes part of the everyday classroom environment!<br />
For teachers today, the greatest challenge is having time to fit in everything<br />
they need to teach. BSBF fits into the existing curriculum, providing quality<br />
classroom materials that can be used to teach the required classroom<br />
subjects — like language arts, science, social studies, and math.<br />
High-quality Materials = Memorable Learnings<br />
The BSBF program was developed with an International Advisory Board<br />
of educational, dental, and multicultural experts, and Teachers tested with children<br />
and teachers in real classrooms. Since its inception in Pre-K the U.S., — 3<br />
BSBF has<br />
worked side-by-side with the Head Start Bureau, Maternal and Child<br />
Health, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to<br />
provide materials appropriate Teachersfor younger children.<br />
Pre-K — 3<br />
Over the years, BSBF has included a variety of classroom<br />
components and is continually updated to engage and excite<br />
both teachers and children. The videos in the program have<br />
received the prestigious “Silver Screen Award” from the U.S.<br />
International Film & Video Festival, and the kits have been<br />
recognized as a tool for outstanding achievement in social<br />
commitment by the Globals Healthcare Communications<br />
Competition.<br />
It’s All About Bright Smiles!<br />
Above all, the crowning achievement of BSBF truly lies in the faces of<br />
the smiling children who participate in this confidence-building program,<br />
year after year. Children discover that they can take control of their own<br />
oral health — which is what BSBF is all about.<br />

DISTINGUISHED ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
<strong>Colgate</strong> recognizes that fostering partnerships between governments, health care and educational organizations, professional associations,<br />
and health care providers strengthens the impact of the BSBF initiative around the world.<br />
In the Global Community<br />
Reaching children with a message of prevention, the Bright Smiles, Bright Futures TM<br />
community extends far and wide. Here’s how…<br />
Australia and New Zealand: Launched in<br />
1997, BSBF is endorsed by the Australian<br />
Dental Association, New Zealand Dental<br />
Association, Australian Dental and Oral<br />
Health Therapist Association, Dental<br />
Hygiene Association of Australia,<br />
the New Zealand Dental Therapist<br />
Association and the New Zealand Maori<br />
Dental Association. <strong>Colgate</strong> provides BSBF<br />
training to dental professionals working<br />
with children and teachers. The combined<br />
pre-school program and third grader program<br />
have reached 5.34 million children since the<br />
launch.<br />
China: In the last 14 years, 111 million<br />
children have been reached. BSBF is<br />
endorsed by the Chinese<br />
Stomatology Association (CSA)<br />
and the National Education<br />
Committee (NEC). Each year, BSBF<br />
reaches over 450 cities and teaches<br />
oral health care habits to over 6 million<br />
first graders in more than 40,000 schools.<br />
Bright Smiles, Bright Futures TM : A Partnership Approach<br />
Malaysia: Today, the BSBF<br />
program reaches 7,700 schools<br />
and 630,000 first graders.<br />
The program’s success is<br />
made possible with the<br />
support of the Ministry<br />
of Education<br />
and the<br />
Ministry of<br />
Health.<br />
<strong>Pakistan</strong>: In 2002, the program<br />
expanded to remote areas of<br />
<strong>Pakistan</strong>. Lack of electricity in these<br />
areas is no obstacle to spreading the<br />
BSBF message, where flip charts and<br />
other print materials are used. Since<br />
its launch, the program has reached<br />
over 2.9 million children. In 2009,<br />
the global art contest received an<br />
unprecedented 30,000 entries!<br />
In the Schools<br />
Reaching children in the schools is<br />
a cornerstone of the <strong>Colgate</strong> effort.<br />
Developed with an International<br />
Advisory Board of educational, dental,<br />
and multicultural experts, the awardwinning<br />
BSBF education materials<br />
are designed to be used by children<br />
ages 5-10 years. There are a variety of<br />
materials — from flip charts to videos,<br />
storybooks and posters — so that<br />
limited technology is not an obstacle<br />
to spreading the message of BSBF.<br />
In the Dental Office<br />
Providing educational outreach materials to<br />
children and their parents during the dental visit<br />
is another important facet of <strong>Colgate</strong>’s global<br />
commitment. With the goal of enhancing the<br />
critical role dental professionals play in influencing<br />
positive oral health behaviors among children<br />
and their families, <strong>Colgate</strong> created a Professional<br />
Resource Guide to help dental professionals utilize<br />
the various educational materials in the dental<br />
office and other settings.<br />
Costa Rica: Since the BSBF education curriculum<br />
launched 17 years ago, over 1.6 million 6 to 9 yearolds<br />
have benefited from the oral health program.<br />
Currently, 72% of all 9 year-olds in public schools<br />
are benefiting from this program. The initiative is<br />
endorsed by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry<br />
of Health, the Costa Rican Pedodontics Academy<br />
and the College of Dental Surgeons of Costa Rica.<br />
The program now extends to dentists who, through<br />
"Join Your School Community," are able to teach<br />
students about oral health in their local community<br />
schools.<br />
Singapore: The BSBF program has<br />
reached out to almost 150,000<br />
children since its launch three years<br />
ago. This initiative is supported by<br />
the Health Promotion Board.<br />
Venezuela: Since the program’s<br />
inception 38 years ago, BSBF has<br />
reached over 12 million children<br />
and continues to teach nearly<br />
700,000 children about oral health<br />
every year.<br />
My Bright Smile Art Contest<br />
For the past 13 years, the My Bright Smile Global<br />
Art Contest has invited children from classrooms all<br />
over the world to create artwork that shows what<br />
their own bright smiles mean to them. Country<br />
winners receive scholarships for themselves and for<br />
their schools. This year’s calendar features winners<br />
from Australia, China, Costa Rica, Malaysia, New<br />
Zealand, <strong>Pakistan</strong>, Singapore, United States<br />

There are four distinct seasons in<br />
my city and we have various kinds<br />
of plants and animals. The local<br />
wild animals are Manchurian tigers<br />
and pandas but I see rabbits and<br />
dogs most often.<br />
On my free time I love to read<br />
Harry Potter and traditional Chinese<br />
novels, surf the Internet, watch<br />
movies and play table tennis. My<br />
favorite music is rock and roll and,<br />
when I go to middle school, I want<br />
to learn how to play guitar.<br />
A really cool fact about my<br />
country is that we respect the old<br />
and love the young. And, if I could<br />
travel to one other country, it<br />
would be Australia to experience<br />
the beautiful scenery and lovely<br />
koala bears.<br />

maybe a teacher. I like traditional<br />
music and play the piano, too.<br />
My favorite season is summer<br />
because I get to eat mangos and<br />
watermelon, and have a lot of fun<br />
on vacation! I would take a visitor<br />
to the arena for ice-skating and<br />
bowling, the mall for shopping and<br />
Sunway Lagoon to chill.<br />

like rock music and play the guitar.<br />
For lunch, I usually eat tequeños<br />
(cheese sticks) and empanadas (fried<br />
flour filled with cheese, meat,<br />
chicken or fish).<br />
If someone my age came to visit, I<br />
would tell them to visit Margarita<br />

Andean Hills because they are<br />
beautiful places.<br />

Ask your dental professional about sealants. Sealants are a thin protective<br />

After school I usually draw and<br />

The weather in Singapore is hot<br />

and multi-cultural place to<br />
live. At home we speak English but<br />
I am learning to speak Tamil, my<br />
favorite school subject.<br />
I love to play hide and seek with<br />
friends; it’s when one person closes<br />
his/her eyes, counts to twenty and<br />
then tries to find their friend who<br />
is hiding. I also like to play board<br />
games, play the piano and play<br />
with my younger brother.<br />
My favorite type of music is<br />
Tamil songs, my favorite sport is<br />
cycling and my favorite book is<br />
Cinderella.<br />

My family lives in an apartment in<br />
Karachi, also known as the “City of<br />
Lights.” It has big and beautiful<br />
buildings. Here, the animals I see<br />
most often are monkeys and parrots.<br />
A really cool fact about my country<br />
is that the second highest mountain<br />
peak in the world, K2, is located<br />
here!<br />
My favorite subjects are math<br />
and Urdu, the language I speak at<br />
home, and my favorite music is<br />
classical.<br />
I love to play hide and seek, video<br />
games, badminton (my favorite<br />
sport) and piano. In my free time,<br />
I also like to sketch and watch TV.<br />
Protect your teeth with a mouthguard when you play sports.<br />
If you do, your smile can last a lifetime!<br />

Floss every day! If you are under 8 years of age, have a grown-up help you.<br />
Flossing gets rid of food and plaque that brushing may miss.<br />
I live in a house with my Mom,<br />
Dad, two brothers and two sisters,<br />
and we have lots of pets: two<br />
dogs, one cat and eleven fish! We<br />
speak Spanish and I am learning<br />
English.<br />
If a student from another<br />
country came to visit my family,<br />
I would offer them a tamal which<br />
is made of corn, pork or chicken,<br />
green peas, chili and rice, and is<br />
wrapped into plantain leaves.<br />
My favorite subject in school is<br />
sports and I am on the soccer<br />
team. After school, I love to ride<br />
my bike with my friends, skate,<br />
play with the scooter and play in<br />
the park.<br />

Malaysia is a society with many<br />
different races and cultures. There<br />
are five people in my family and we<br />
speak Mandarin at home. I also<br />
speak English and Malay.<br />
I love to play table tennis, read<br />
comics and draw. My favorite type<br />
of music is pop.<br />
The most beautiful and<br />
interesting places in my country are<br />
Kuala Lumpur (our capital city), the<br />
Genting Highlands and Melaka. The<br />
most beautiful place in my<br />
neighborhood is the beach because<br />
it is quiet, harmonious and nice. The<br />
local animal I see most often is the<br />
monkey.<br />
If I could travel to one country, I<br />
would go to Switzerland to see the<br />
snow because I have never<br />
experienced winter.<br />
