Join the Fun on June 4: A Day to Protect Teeth with Xylitol!

Protect Your Teeth with Xylitol at a Fun Event!

On June 4, which marks Tooth Decay Prevention Day, Vitato Japan, a company headquartered in Kodaira City, Tokyo, is organizing an engaging event at kindergartens to educate children about dental health. The event features their popular xylitol-based candy, XyliBlock, a 100% natural sweetener that plays a crucial role in cavity prevention.

A Mouth Care Routine Based on Fun

This initiative aims to instill the habit of using xylitol in children's daily routines, particularly after meals, before bedtime, and post-tooth brushing. As part of the program, students will learn how to maintain oral health in a playful environment.

An Exciting Day of Learning and Fun

During the event, activities such as storytelling and tasting sessions are planned. Participants will enjoy a captivating “paper play” about teeth and health. Notably, the event will feature a lively session led by Lemon-chan, the main character, where kids can participate in exercise routines and craft activities. This creates an atmosphere filled with laughter and delight.

Understanding Cavity Formation Through Storytelling

In the storytelling segment, staff prompt children with questions like, “Can we eat something after brushing our teeth?” To which the kids, with great enthusiasm, reply, “We absolutely shouldn’t!” Educators explain the concept of xylitol's ability to weaken the bacteria that cause cavities (Streptococcus mutans) through engaging stories. They convey the importance of maintaining oral health in a fun way through relatable storytelling.

A Tasty Tasting Experience

Excitement builds as children learn that they will get to try XyliBlock candies. The most popular flavor, strawberry, is handed out, causing waves of eagerness among the kids. Their joyful shouts of “Delicious!” and “I want more!” show the success of the tasting session.

Dancing with Lemon-chan

A special guest makes a grand entrance during the dance segment: Lemon-chan! The kids enthusiastic ally learn a dance move from Lemon-chan and engage in original exercises, all while dancing to upbeat songs. The fun interaction transforms them into fans of XyliBlock. The children cap off this session by crafting a Y-shaped sign for a memorable photo opportunity.

Crafting Crowns with Lemon-chan’s Face

Next comes a creative segment where kids draw Lemon-chan's face on paper crowns. After completing their crowns, the adorable “Mini Lemon Squad” gathers for a group photo. At the end of the event, the excited kids are gifted goody bags, filled with xylitol candies, prompting cheers of “I can’t wait to eat this!” and “I’ll share it with mom!”

The Star of Oral Health: Lemon-chan

Lemon-chan, the beloved face of the Okuchi series, continues to shine in various real-life promotional events. The company engages with the youth through diverse challenges on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. By focusing on initiatives at kindergartens, Vitato Japan spreads the joy and benefits of oral care from an early age. They encourage kindergartens, daycares, and other organizations interested in participating to reach out via email.
