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.
As always, the core message for our patients is:
- 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.
