February is Childrens Dental Health Month
February is Children's Dental Health Month and Oral Health Kansas wants to help spread the word about the importance of oral health in children and to raise awareness about the importance of oral health.
Whether you're a member of a dental team, a teacher or a parent, Oral Health Kansas has put together age specific oral health packets that can help with oral health presentations, ideas for the classroom and coloring and activity sheets that can be used as handouts which are all available HERE on our website.
