February is National Children’s Dental Health Month
National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) began as a one-day event in Cleveland, Ohio, on February 3, 1941. Since 1941, the observance has grown from a two-city event into a nationwide program.
Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums. This is also true for the entire family, no matter what age!
