In recognition of National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) this February, Smile, California is hosting a webinar on January 28 at 11:00 a.m. focused on supporting young children and families through oral health education and preventive care.
Early childhood is a critical time to establish healthy dental habits, and parents, caregivers, educators, and community partners all play an important role in helping families understand what to expect from a child’s dental visit. This year’s NCDHM theme introduces new, child-friendly resources designed to reduce fear, build confidence, and support conversations with families about oral health and Medi-Cal Dental benefits.
Meeting Details:
Wednesday, January 28
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
During the webinar, participants will: · Learn about new, ready-to-use NCDHM resources, including the children’s booklet Jasmín Goes to the Dentist, which walks through a dental visit from a child’s perspective
Explore ways to use NCDHM activities and resources year-round—not just in February—to support ongoing oral health education
