February 2012 marks the 10th anniversary of the ADA's Give Kids A Smile program and the annual National Children's Dental Health Month.
The former begins on February 3 with dental professionals across the U.S. mobilizing to provide free dental care to approximately 450,000 children and adolescents from underserved families throughout year.
This year's National Children's Dental Health Month features the slogan Rock Your Smile. The ADA is offering free downloadable oral health resources for dentists, dental team members, school nurses, and teachers to provide fun tools to promote the benefits of good oral health to children. The program planning guide includes easy-to-do classroom activities, program planning timetable tips, and more.
