National Children's Dental Health Month celebrates oral care for youngest patients

Month-long observance is in February

National Children's Dental Health Month, brought by the ADA, is a month-long national health observance that brings together thousands of professionals, health care providers and educators to promote the benefits of good oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers and many others.

Free posters — with English on the front, Spanish on the back — about National Children’s Dental Health Month are available to order on the National Children’s Dental Health Month website . They can also be downloaded and printed in poster and flyer sizes. For the first time, postcards are available for purchase on the website.

With February being National Children’s Dental Health Month, the ADA encourages you to share how you promote and support NCDHM. This is a time to celebrate oral health in a fun, engaging way, so please share your efforts by tagging the American Dental Association on social media and using #NCDHM. We also welcome pictures and success stories to be sent to ncdhm@ada.org .
