National Children’s
Dental Health Month 2019
By Michelle Berrones,
Communications Coordinator
Our new friends, the Smile Builders, reminded us to “Brush and Clean in between to build
a healthy smile” during February’s National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM).
We distributed Information about the promotion and our poster contest to schools and
member dentists statewide beginning in January. PDA’s electronic lesson plan kits contained
an informational piece geared toward third-grade students, classroom activities, coloring
sheets and interactive games. More than 1,800 complimentary posters were distributed to
dental and orthodontic offices as well as many of the schools across the state.
