Mouth hygiene day

In every sanctuary affiliated to GAP Project, we encourage mouth hygiene of chimpanzees. In many cases this is not possible to be done everyday, but there are dates that we call Mouth Hygiene Day. We give them tooth brushes with toothpaste and water, so they get more used to the brush their teeth by themselves.

In these sequence of photos of Anami Institute Sanctuary, in Paraná, we can see some guests brushing their teeth with the best technique possible.
