Children's Oral Health Month: Building Healthy Smiles from an Early Age

Welcome to the February 2026 issue of the CareGuard Oral Health Bulletin.

Each February, the United States recognizes National Children's Dental Health Month, an annual observance that promotes the importance of good oral health for infants, children, and adolescents.

Healthy habits established during childhood can last a lifetime. This month's bulletin provides practical, evidence-based guidance to help parents, caregivers, educators, and community organizations support children's oral health through prevention, education, and healthy daily routines.
