February is National Children's Dental Health Month

Each February for the last 60 years, the American Dental Association (ADA) has sponsored National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. The ADA’s 2010 NCDHM campaign features a colorful, two-sided poster that reminds young children to “remember to brush and floss every day for a sparkly smile,”while providing general oral health messages that encourage pre-teens and teens to "Rock Your Smile.”

The special issue of Delta Dental’s Dental Wire contains some great information on helping enrollees care for their child’s teeth. For even more information about children’s dental health, check out the Kids & Teens section of Delta Dental’s web site, at www.deltadentalins.com.
