Have A Happy And Healthy Halloween With Oral Health America's Fall For Smiles Campaign

CHICAGO, Oct. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- According to a recent survey commissioned by Oral Health America (OHA), households with children are more likely to skip or delay dental visits. With Halloween just around the corner, it is important that families focus on good oral health habits. Parents looking to talk to their kids about the importance of oral health can find a wealth of free resources through OHA's Fall for Smiles campaign, which educates Americans every September and October about the importance of maintaining a healthy mouth through daily brushing and flossing, regular dental visits, eating healthy foods and avoiding tobacco.

The campaign webpage, www.oralhealthamerica.org/fallforsmiles, features a tip sheet, brushing chart, activity booklet and coloring page all created specifically to get kids excited about oral health. In addition to using these resources, dental offices looking to encourage a healthy Halloween celebration can download the Fall for Smiles Candy Drive poster, which encourages young patients to turn in their Halloween candy for more tooth-friendly treats.

Access all of the campaign resources at www.oralhealthamerica.org and share how your family or office is celebrating a healthy Halloween by connecting with OHA on Facebook (www.facebook.com/oralhealthamerica) and Twitter (@Smile4Health).
