Dental Health Week (DHW) is the Australian Dental Association’s major annual oral health campaign.
This year’s DHW campaign will take place from the 3rd of August to the 9th of August.
The core messaging of the campaign will reinforce these key elements of good oral healthcare:
- Brushing twice per day using a fluoride toothpaste.
- Cleaning in between teeth daily using floss or interdental brushes.
- Eating a nutritious diet, low in sugar.
- Seeing your dentist regularly.
