Dental Health Week has raised valuable awareness of paediatric oral health in the community with many ADA NSW members participating in a range of educational activities to promote positive oral health across NSW and the ACT.

Held from 4-10 August this year, DHW is an important annual oral health promotion event. This year’s focus was on educating children, parents, caregivers and guardians about the importance of children’s oral health, and what they need to do to help kids at every oral health ‘S-milestone.’

Media interest was high this year, with interviews conducted via key spokespeople from ADA Federal and State branches. They were interviewed on television, radio and in print on a range of major platforms. ADA NSW also got into the swing of things through social media.

Finally, a shout out to our many other members who were involved in DHW this year, whether getting out and about or promoting S-milestones within your own practice.
