From the American Dental Association:
"It's Feb. 4—Give Kids A Smile Day—and dental professionals nationwide are joining together with the ADA to provide free dental services to children in need and raise awareness among health professionals and policymakers about how untreated dental disease affects millions of U.S. children.Today, throughout National Children's Dental Health Month and all year long, some 45,000 dentists and other volunteers nationwide are mobilizing to provide free dental services to nearly 400,000 children during the ADA's 9th observance of Give Kids A Smile.
Give Kids A Smile Day is made possible by the volunteer efforts of dentists, dental team members and the generous support of corporate sponsors. This year Henry Schein Dental provided professional dental supplies such as gloves, gauze, masks and patient bibs, while Colgate-Palmolive Co. donated toothbrushes and sample toothpaste for children at the events. DEXIS, LLC donated the use of their digital x-ray systems, along with the expertise of their staff, to U.S. dental schools that request assistance, state associations, and large group practices during the GKAS events. For more information on GKAS, visit www.ada.org/givekidsasmile.aspx.
Through a variety of online resources, the ADA helps dental professionals to encourage parents to make sure their children brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, eat a balanced diet and see their dentist regularly to address tooth decay in its earliest stages.
This year's NCDHM themes are "A Healthy Smile? It's Easy to Find! Remember to Brush & Floss Everyday!" and "A Healthy Smile Looks Good Up Close."
