2021 Children’s Dental Health Month


The Monmouth-Ocean County Dental Society (M-OCDS) is promoting the importance of optimal oral health throughout the month of February as part of Children’s Dental Health Month. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we will not be having our annual events in both the Monmouth County and Ocean County Malls to promote Children’s Dental Health Month. However, we still want to make the month of February a chance to promote dental health and well-being for all of the children in our respective communities and we need YOUR HELP!

Please find below the informational letter, GKAS contacts, Virtual Poster Contest information, as well as English and Spanish coloring/informational packets which can be used to help promote oral health in children.  Feel free to share this information with patients, parents, friends, local schools or whomever you think may benefit from these resources. 

Feel free to reach out to us for any additional information or questions.
