Key messages about children's oral health sits at the centre of this year's Dental Health Week including a survey or Australians' oral healthcare habits and the need for a higher profile for the ADA-advocated CDBS.

This year’s Dental Health Week campaign (4-10 August), focuses on the importance of children’s oral health milestones, educating parents and caregivers about what they need to do to help their kids “reach every S-milestone", taking them on a journey from birth through their initial teeth ... and beyond. 

Three media releases have been out in support of the event's messaging:

1. Open wide - oral habits of Aussie families revealed

2. Time to boost awareness of free government child dental scheme

3. Dentists blow the lid on our curious bathroom habits

Here's a selection of the media coverage generated:
