Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department (BLDHD), along with the Northern Michigan Public Health Alliance (NMPHA), is promoting National Children’s Dental Health this month, highlighting the importance of good oral hygiene for children.
This month-long national health observance brings together thousands of professionals, healthcare providers, and educators to promote the benefits of good oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers, and many others. The American Dental Association (ADA) 2024 campaign slogan is “Healthy Habits for Healthy Smiles.”
“Building good oral health habits during childhood is key to a lifetime of healthy mouths,” said Dr. Joshua Meyerson, medical director of BLDHD. “BLDHD calls on parents, guardians, educators, and community members to work together to make dental care a regular part of every child’s routine.”
