The February 2021 National Children's Dental
Health Month (NCDHM) is brought to you by the Nevada Oral Health Program, in
partnership with the American Dental Association. This year's NCDHM campaign
slogan is "Water, Nature's Drink!" which encourages kids
to swap out sugary beverages for water.
Tooth decay is the #1 most common chronic
childhood disease. This month-long national health observance brings together
thousands of dedicated professionals, healthcare providers, and educators to promote
the benefits of good oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers and
many others. NCDHM messages reach millions of people in communities across the country and at numerous armed service bases. Local observances often
include poster, coloring and essay contests, health fairs, free dental screenings, museum exhibits, classroom presentations and dental office tours.
For this year’s campaign, the Nevada Oral Health
Program will be facilitating a social media campaign to promote choosing water
rather than sugar sweetened beverages. The Nevada Oral Health Program
challenges Nevadans to swap out these types of drinks with "Water,
Nature's Drink!" Post a video on your social media platforms of
yourself sharing why you choose water over sugary drinks and doing the Sip
& Flip challenge. Be sure to use the hashtags #sipNflip4NVkids.
Then, tag and challenge three of your followers to do the same!
