Get A+ Smiles with Medi-Cal Dental

Partners,  

As the school year progresses, it's an ideal time to highlight the importance of maintaining children's overall health, including their oral health, as a key to their success in school and beyond. Smile, California is excited to share new digital resources designed to help promote the importance of keeping kids healthy and ready to learn, while encouraging families to schedule regular dental appointments. 

New Digital Resources to Support Kids' Health and Success

We are pleased to introduce new social media posts and banners, available in both English and Spanish, that focus on the connection between oral health and academic success. These materials are crafted to support your efforts in encouraging families to prioritize preventive dental care and take advantage of Medi-Cal dental benefits by scheduling routine check-ups for their children.
