You can add your voice to help move this agenda forward. We tend to forget oral health is part of overall health. If they don't, send them to the project web site for ideas and materials. Ask your school and child care providers whether the snacks and meals they serve are good for the kids' teeth. Ask your school if they do dental screenings, especially for kids who may not have access to oral health care.
School nurses can do a lot to check and protect kids if they are given the go-ahead.
Speak up for kids' oral health at PTA meetings, push the school board and administration to watch kids' mouths for health, not just words. If it is not, support fluoride protection efforts in your community. Support community clinics and organizations which provide oral health care to members of your community. Contact local officials and legislators to expand support for these services. Ask them to display 'Watch Your Mouth' posters in their office.
