In our efforts to learn more about the consequences of the adult dental benefit cuts in 2011, PCOH and our partners in the PA Medicaid/Adult Dental Campaign Team have drafted a short survey for adults enrolled in Medical Assistance (MA). If you are enrolled in MA, or work with individuals who are, please consider completing or sharing this survey.
DID YOU KNOW?
The National Center on Early Childhood Health and Wellness publishes a monthly oral health tip sheet specifically designed for Head Start programs and their families. January's tip sheet describes oral health resources available on the Early Childhood Learning & Knowledge Center (ECLKC) to help Head Start staff and families better understand the importance of oral health.

CHILDREN'S DENTAL HEALTH MONTH
 Here at PCOH, we are thrilled to support Children's Dental Health Month during February each year. Many educational campaigns are held throughout the state, and PCOH can assist in providing resources for those individuals and organizations who want to do something special within their communities. Please let us know what events you are holding and feel free to share pictures on our Facebook page!

The AAP has worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop a social media toolkit to promote a new oral health communications toolkit – www.aap.org/tinyteeth. Please feel free to use the information within on social media, in newsletters, over listservs, etc and don’t forget to include the hashtags #NCDHM and #TinyTeeth, when appropriate.
