February is National Children’s Dental Health Month!
Tiffanie (Licensed Dental Assistant) makes oral health fun for local preschool children.
Every February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children’s Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of good oral health.
We are passionate about educating children so they have the best chance at keeping their cute little smiles healthy for a lifetime.
To spread awareness, Marie and one of our Dental Assistants, Tiffanie, recently took the opportunity to visit a pre-school and volunteer their time to teach children about their teeth.
They spent time educating the children on the importance of brushing, flossing and choosing healthy foods. Marie read a cute children’s book about going to the dentist and Tiffanie gave a short tutorial on effective tooth brushing techniques. The children had an opportunity to ask questions and share experiences (boy, was that entertaining!) and all of our little students received a goody bag with a toothbrush, hourglass timer and a sugar-free lollipop to take and enjoy at home.
Tiffanie and Marie’s program was such a success that it inspired Megan, one of our hygienists, to also volunteer her time by educating children on the importance of good dental health at another school. Megan’s presentation was also a huge success!
The doctors and staff at Personal Care Dentistry are proud to take part in National Children’s Dental Health Month! If you ever have questions regarding dental home care for your children, please give us a call at 651-636-0655 or e-mail us here. We are always happy to help. 
Submissions will be accepted through February 10th and the winner will be announced February 11th. The cutest pet will receive a $50 gift card donated by Fetch Delivers! Post your submissions today!
