October is National Dental Hygiene Month, an annual initiative to raise awareness of dental health issues. Dental Hygiene Month was created by the ADA (American Dental Association), and dentists around the country get involved to help spread the word about ways people can improve their oral health. Brands such as Colgate and Wrigley’s, and organizations such as the American Dental Hygienists Association. participate with their own campaigns to support the initiative.
For 2017, the National Dental Hygiene Month campaign focuses on four key actions that help you to keep your mouth healthy:
People are encouraged to use the hashtag #DentalHygieneMonth to join the conversation and help promote the campaign on social media. National Dental Hygiene Month is a great opportunity for everyone across the dental health industry to work together with educators and families to improve awareness of the simple dental hygiene techniques that can make a huge difference to oral health.
In addition to National Dental Hygiene Month, dental organizations also promote National Children’s Dental Health Month each February. This campaign focuses particularly on educating children about the benefits of paying attention to their dental health in order to encourage good habits from a young age.
