National Smile Month Idea
Dental Hygiene, Dental News April 26th. 2008, 10:20amI think it would be great to participate in National Smile Month. The handbook can be found here. The month runs from May 18 through June 17.
The ‘Brush for Health‘ tagline raises awareness of the systemic links between oral health and overall health - focusing on the relationship between gum disease and chronic health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, renal disease and diabetes.
Oral Health America is joining the British Dental Health Foundation and its global arm the International Dental Health Foundation to educate, inform and influence a global audience on the importance of good oral and overall health.
Please post comments if you any ideas with respect to this.

I think that this is a great way that we can raise awareness about dental health in our community. There were many articles in reference to oral health also on msn.com. It talked about certain foods that are beneficial to oral health and certain foods that can be detrimental, and ways to better promote oral health. There was also an article about the states with the best dental health and the ones with the worst!
