February is Dental Health Month!

Get Ready to "Rock Your Smile!"

 

 

Join Mrs. Arcury, NASD School Dental Hygienist, and the Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA) in celebrating National Children's Dental Health Month (NCDHM) this February!  NCDHM is an oral health campaign aimed at educating Pennsylvania youths about the importance of good oral health. Developing good habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children get a good start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.   This year's theme is "Rock Your Smile" and Mrs. Arcury encourages children to:

                                                1. Brush and Floss twice a day.

 

                                                2. Eat healthy foods.

 

                                                3.  Limit sweet, sticky snacks.

 

                                                4.  Visit your dentist or dental hygienist twice a year.

 

There will be a lot of sparkling smiles in 2^nd Grade this year due the generous donation of toothbrushes and floss from Dr. Cynthia Hanner-Olenwine.  Our school dental hygienist, Mrs. Arcury, will distribute the "tools for a cool smile" when she conducts the Mass Brush-In with 2^nd grade later this year.
