“Fluoride in water
prevents cavities!
Get it from the tap!”
was this year’s ADA theme to for
February’s National Children’s Dental
Health Month (NCDHM) promotions.
We began our promotion in the usual way
in January by distributing information about
the promotion and our poster contest to
schools and member dentists statewide.
PDA’s electronic lesson plan kits were made
available, containing an informational
piece geared toward third-grade students,
classroom activities, coloring sheets
and interactive games. More than 1,000
complimentary posters were distributed to
dental and orthodontic offices as well as
many of the schools across the state.
Fluoride in water
prevents cavities!
Celebrating 75 years of water fluoridation. Visit ADA.org/FromTheTap for more activity sheets.
