Dental Program: Helping Kids
Keep Healthy Smiles
Dental staff participated in
Child Health Fairs throughout the three counties providing dental screening
assessments for children and oral health advice to parents.
The Provincial Brushing Awareness Campaign, called “2 for 2” saw 400 children in
the three counties brushing their teeth for 2 minutes on April 2. The goal of the
campaign was to encourage children and parents to brush for two minutes, twice a day
to prevent dental disease.
Dental staff provided oral health assessments to 5,297 children and referred 405
children with urgent dental needs for treatment.
264 children received dental treatment through the Children In Need of Treatment
Program (CINOT).
