KVC Kansas

National Children’s Dental Health Month

Each February, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children’s Dental Health Month to raise awareness about the importance of oral health. NCDHM messages and materials have reached millions of people in communities across the country.

Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children to get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

Whether you’re a member of the dental team, a teacher or a parent, the ADA has free online resources that can help you with oral health presentations, ideas for the classroom, and activity sheets that can be used as handouts.

KVC will be hosting a free dental clinic on February 13th from 9am to 3pm at the Kansas City office.  This dental clinic will be open to all children and youth who are working with KVC and are placed in relative, foster or non-related kin homes.  Please contact Erika Carrillo to make an appointment at 913-890-7551.
