“It is our duty as providers to do what we can to provide access to oral health services.”

 

“I hope all hygienists, even if you are not a member of ADHA, share the message of National Children’s Dental Health Month.”

 

“ACT now offers dye-free products.”

 

“I believe we have yet to see how much this pandemic has impacted oral health.”

 

“When kids have the dexterity to tie their own shoes, they often have the dexterity to brush their own teeth.”
