Celebrating National Children's Dental Health Month

Every February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children's Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. Growing Smiles is participating again this year by visiting local Douglas County elementary schools and presenting on the importance of developing good habits at an early age. Staff members use age appropriate puppets and talk with the kids about why teeth are important, how to keep teeth clean, what foods are healthy snacks and what to expect at their dental visit. Scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums! For more information on National Children's Dental Health Month, visit the ADA National Children's Dental Health Month Website. If you would like your child's class to be included in one of our presentations, please contact us at 785-856-5600.
