MouthCheck^sm: An Oral Health Campaign:
MouthCheck is a public education and awareness campaign designed to improve oral health.

Tooth decay is the most common childhood disease - yet is completely preventable. The goal of the MouthCheck campaign is to prevent oral diseases by promoting the most basic and effective oral health practices - daily brushing and flossing, healthy eating and regular dental check ups.

In addition, the campaign goal is to raise awareness on new or relatively unknown oral health information - oral health and overall health connections, pregnancy and the importance of good oral health, monthly mouth checks on children (lift the lip), etc.

Read our recent advertisements about brushing for two and lifting the lip.

Delta Dental will work together with local organizations to promote and support the campaign's key messages.
