Young Dental OHA

CHICAGO, Illinois—The word “young” implies health and well-being. Strong teeth and healthy mouths are a vital part of overall health.

To honor the philosophy that “you can’t be healthy without good oral health,” Young Dental has teamed with Oral Health America’s Fall for Smiles campaign to help dental care providers promote the importance of dental hygiene, regular dental visits, healthy food choices, and tobacco avoidance.

A recent public opinion survey conducted by Oral Health America found that most parents (68%) say teaching children to brush and floss twice daily is among their most important health care concerns. In the same survey, more than three out of four respondents said that when it comes to caring for an older person in their lives, they are very or somewhat knowledgeable about tooth brushing (85%), flossing (78%), and cavities (76%).[i]

During regular dental visits, patients learn from their dental care providers how to take care of teeth throughout the journey of life. By partnering with Fall for Smiles, Young Dental hopes to continue to support dental offices in communicating to Americans that overall health and well-being means taking care of your mouth each and every day.

“We are honored by Young Dental’s support for Oral Health America’s programs and strategies to ensure that all Americans are able to access the dental care and education they need,” said Beth Truett, president and CEO, Oral Health America. “As a whole, Americans tend to be young at heart. We want to make sure that they also feel young and are healthy at every age.”
