Each year on November 1, National Brush Day is observed in the United States, urging parents to prioritize their children’s oral health. The day serves as a reminder to establish proper tooth-brushing habits, as recommended by dental professionals. Parents are encouraged to ensure that their children brush their teeth for two minutes, twice a day. This initiative aims to instill good oral hygiene practices from an early age, setting the foundation for a healthy smile.
To bolster their commitment to oral health, the Dental Trade Alliance (DTA) Foundation has launched an awareness and marketing campaign for National Brush Day. The campaign involves targeted outreach to DTA members, partners, and clinicians across the nation. The theme for 2023 encourages families to “Share Your Favorite Toothbrushing Song,” a musical accompaniment that lasts at least two minutes. Families are encouraged to tag their songs with #NBDToothTunes, contributing to the National Brush Day “Tooth Tunes” playlist on Spotify. This playlist can be used as a fun and engaging timer for brushing, amplifying awareness about the significance of maintaining good oral health.
To spread the word about National Brush Day, the DTA Foundation offers freely downloadable marketing materials. These resources can be shared through various channels such as email, social media, websites, and in-office communications. By providing accessible and informative materials, the foundation aims to reach as many families as possible, empowering them to prioritize oral health.
Sarah Miller, the executive director of the DTA Foundation, expressed her pride in raising awareness about the importance of children’s oral health through the National Brush Day campaign. She anticipates the positive impact of this year’s campaign as they continue to promote good oral hygiene habits among children nationwide. Miller encourages anyone with inquiries or interest in the campaign to reach out to her directly at sarahmiller@dentaltradealliance.org or by calling (703) 379-7755.
