(HOUSTON) – February is National Children’s Dental Health Month and the students and staff at Harmony Science Academy – Katy welcomed dental professionals into the classroom on Thursday, February 13, 2020. Students were shown how to correctly brush their teeth, floss and learned about the importance of using fluoride which corresponds with this year’s national theme “Fluoride in water prevents cavities! Get it from the tap!”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recognized community water fluoridation as one of the 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century. For children younger than age 8, fluoride helps strengthen the adult (permanent) teeth that are developing under the gums.
Harmony Science Academy – Katy would like to thank Smile Studio Orthodontics, Pediatric Dental Safari and Grand Parkway Pediatric Dental for taking time to participate in this year’s Dental Day.
