February is National Children's Dental Health Month, known as NCDHM. This annual program is designed to educate Pennsylvania children about the importance of good oral health.

As part of NCDHM, PDA conducts a prize-filled poster contest for third-grade students. Ask your teacher to download the NCDHM lesson plan and other important information found on this website. The lesson plan is full of fun activities that teach you about the importance of good oral health. Plus, you could win a prize worth $250, $500 or even $1,000!

Although Flossy and Buck are twins, they have different interests. Flossy loves math and science, and has all the answers. Buck is big on adventures and sports. They’re as different as twins can be but they agree on one thing: the importance of good dental habits!

Flossy and Buck brush their teeth when they get up in the morning and again before they go to bed. They also floss their teeth once each day. They enjoy fruit and other healthy foods, and they choose water when they are thirsty.      

Sometimes, Flossy helps Buck with his homework or Buck coaches Flossy when she wants to take part in sports. They work as a team! Your toothbrush, toothpaste and floss work as a team, too.
