Next month is National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM)! The American Dental Association (ADA) first observed Children's Dental Health Day on February 8, 1949. Six years later this one-day event was extended to a week, and in 1981 elevated to a month. Today, NCDHM is observed throughout February when dedicated oral health professionals, healthcare providers, and educators emphasize the benefits of pediatric oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers and the public. The ADA is offering downloadable resources, posters, and flyers celebrating this year’s theme "Healthy Habits for Healthy Smiles!", so get them in advance at: https://ow.ly/83NY50QtM0R
Be sure to follow ADHA's social channels throughout February for resources, stories and events highlighting important oral health messages for our youngest patients and their families.
