Dental Health Week (DHW) is the Australian Dental Association’s major annual oral health campaign.
This year’s DHW campaign (4-10 August), focuses on the importance of children’s oral health milestones, educating parents and caregivers about what they need to do to help their kids “reach every S-milestone", taking them on a journey from birth through their initial teeth ... and beyond.
The core messaging of the campaign will reinforce these key elements of good oral healthcare:
Brushing twice per day using a fluoride toothpaste.
Cleaning in between teeth daily using floss or interdental brushes.
Eating a nutritious diet, low in sugar.
Seeing your dentist regularly.
