February has been designated as National Children's Dental Health Month (NCDHM).
Each year the ADA and the ADA Foundation provide tools that help dental teams teach kids and teenagers about the negative effects of sugar and how to maintain healthy teeth gums. The ADA's 2016 NCDHM theme is Sugar Wars.
The ADA website has downloadable resources dental teams can use to teach kids, teens, and caregivers about oral health, including education posters, a crossword puzzle, a calendar, and coloring pages.
