American Dental Hygienists’ Association Partners with ACT® Kids Anticavity to Celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month, February 2021

CHICAGO, February 1, 2021–The American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) is proud to partner with ACT^® Kids Anticavity to celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) this February. What began as a one-day event in Cleveland, Ohio, on February 3, 1941 has grown into a nationwide month of observance.

This February, ADHA and ACT ^® are giving us all something to smile about with a downloadable guide for professionals to use with parents and caregivers. To download the guide, visit ADHA.org/ncdhm.

The secret to oral health for life is establishing a healthy dental hygiene routine from the start. When parents understand more about nutrition, fluoride, brushing habits, flossing, rinsing, and more, they start to see that prevention is the key to success. Let’s join forces to raise awareness about the importance of oral health to keep the little smiles in our lives healthy from the start.

“Any time is a good time to talk with parents and caregivers about pediatric dental health. It’s a good reminder to lead by example since families that follow good oral health together are more likely to inspire children to adopt healthy habits that last a lifetime. And that’s something to smile about!”

–ADHA President, Lisa Moravec, R.D.H., M.S.D.H.

Let’s come together to raise awareness and celebrate all things children’s dental health this February. Download the guide and learn more at adha.org/ncdm.
