April is Oral Health Month!

Yes, it's that time of the year....April is Oral Health Month. The Ontario Dental Association has taken a leadership role this year in enhancing Ontarians' understanding about the importance of oral health including:

1. downloadable patient fact sheets and an oral health month guide at http://www.youroralhealth.ca/
2. grants to local communities (via the local component societies of the ODA) during the month of April
3. Brush-a-mania, the annual program to educate our young students on proper dental care. This program has already reached over 230 000 students so far

I will try in the next couple of days to post some of the materials the ODA has regarding these great programs.
