Neb. program targets dental visits, oral health

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has launched a new campaign, entitled Watch Your Mouth, that stresses the importance of dental health and the connection between good oral health and overall well-being.

The campaign is part of a federal grant that includes TV ads, outdoor billboards, radio public service announcements, educational brochures, and more, all focusing on two key messages:

1. Parents should take their children to see a dentist at least once a year.
2. Oral health directly affects many other aspects of total health.

All campaign materials are available on the Nebraska DHHS website and Facebook page.
