February is National Children\u2019s Dental Health Month (NCDHM<\/span>), a campaign sponsored by ADA.<\/h2>\n

\"National<\/p>\n

This year’s, dental health month will take place courtesy of both\u00a0Crest + Oral-B and ADA.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s a month-long dental campaign that will see thousands of healthcare providers, dental professionals, and qualified educators join hands to educate on the importance of children’s proper oral health to the kids, their caregivers, teachers among others.<\/p>\n

In 2018, the campaign theme is different from the last year\u2019s that sought to encourage the\u00a0kids to drink tap water<\/a>\u00a0instead of the sugary and acidic beverages that cause tooth decay. Tap water is healthy and has been enhanced with\u00a0community water fluoridation<\/a>, which provides additional oral benefits.<\/p>\n

The year 2018\u00a0NCDHM<\/span>\u00a0Campaign Slogan<\/h3>\n

The National Children\u2019s Dental Health Month February 2018 slogan is straightforward. \u2018Brush with fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth for a healthy smile,’ goes the slogan.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It emphasizes the need to embrace the kinds of toothpaste with fluoride as an ingredient and\u00a0how kids should brush their teeth.<\/a><\/p>\n

Promotional efforts<\/h3>\n

The 2018\u00a0NCDHM<\/span>\u00a0program planning guide provides the program stakeholders such coordinators, teachers, parents and healthcare providers the resources for promoting the campaign.<\/p>\n

Great ideas for the publicity of the message include newspapers, TV and radio stations. Scrape the local phone directories for news outlets. Take advantage of the \u2018free\u2019 papers and or the community news that report the upcoming local events.<\/p>\n

Campaign Fun Activities for Kids<\/h3>\n

To keep the campaign enjoyable for the children, ADA recommends some fun activities you can get them to participate in. They have provided activities such as crossword activity, calendar activity, coloring sheet, and connect the dots activity, all in a downloadable pdf format.<\/p>\n
