Dental Health Week 2025: We need a case study for media promotional efforts

The theme for this year’s Dental Health Week is paediatric oral health, and our surveys tell us a sizeable proportion of parents simply don’t know how to look after a baby’s mouth, including when to start brushing and flossing and when the first dental visit should be.

From this there are, of course, knock-on effects on children’s oral health.

So we are looking for several mums and dads who would be happy to be filmed talking about this for a video we are making which would be distributed to national media outlets as part of our campaign to improve the oral health literacy of Australian parents.

They can be in a town or a city, just about anywhere in Australia as we can send a camera to them.

We would need to film them before the end of June-so if you have a prospective candidate could you please call ADA Media Advisor Jenny Barlass on 0497 748 331 or email her this week.
