ADA: February National Children's Dental Health Month

Since 1949, the American Dental Association, or ADA, has chosen February as the month to focus more energy on children's dental health. They especially try to focus on educating low income and/or children who do not have dental insurance. These children tend to not get regular dental care and can be at a higher risk of dental problems.

Because of the National Children's Dental Health Month, many dentists use February as a time to give free or discounted services to children, so February is a good time to call around to see if a dentist in your area has any specials for children.
