National Dental Hygiene Month (NDHM) is kicking off, with its continuation of last year’s family-focused theme “A Healthy Smile Lasts a Lifetime.” Every week in the month of October is dedicated to a different event, each one celebrating various aspects of dental hygiene—from the dental hygienist to community service! Events will consist of Hygienists’ Appreciation Day during the first week, followed by two weeks of community service and finishing with Take a Potential Member to Lunch Day in the final week. These events are part of the revamped NDHM month-long celebration initiated in 2008. Posters and wallpapers with this year’s NDHM theme are available for your use below, in addition to fact sheets and information relating to each age group of the entire family. There are also PR templates on the Members page of our website, which can be used to help promote any event your component or constituent is planning in honor of NDHM. ADHA is encouraging dental hygienists and other dental professionals and supporters across the country to get involved with NDHM this October to increase public awareness of the oral health-total health connection and the importance of educating the entire family on situations which impact their oral health. It is imperative to start early with a daily oral care routine to help prevent cavities and periodontal disease. NDHM is the perfect time to spread that message even more—while celebrating the profession of dental hygiene! For additional information or questions, please contact PR Coordinator Frances Moffett at francesm@adha.net.
