Celebrating Children’s Dental Health Month

February is Children’s Dental Health Month, and this year marks the 80th annual celebration. To recognize this event, MECC’s Dental Assisting students made treat bags for Duffield Primary School. Each student in Kindergarten and Pre-K will take home a packet which includes a toothbrush, paste, coloring booklet, an educational pamphlet for parents, and other prizes. 
MECC is committed to serving the region, and we are grateful for our community partners who make this possible!  For more information or resources related to children’s dental health, visit the American Dental Association’s website https://www.ada.org/en/public-programs/national-childrens-dental-health-month.
