Fluoride access in our communities
June 11, 2024, 10 a.m. – noon
Everyone is welcome at Oral Health Day!
Each year, Oral Health Day is an opportunity for people from across North Carolina to come together and learn about innovations in oral health, policy advancements, and continued work to create a more accessible North Carolina where everyone has the opportunity achieve great oral health. Oral Health Day is for anyone interested in engaging in oral health advocacy — not only dental providers. Our mouths are part of our bodies, and oral health is whole-person health. If you would like to engage your community, advocate for systems-level change, and help create a better structure for oral health in North Carolina, Oral Health Day is a great first step!
Oral Health Day 2025
At NCOHC, we believe in the power of prevention, and fluoride is one of the best tools we have to stop tooth decay. Community water fluoridation helps ensure everyone has a fair shot at a healthy smile, but a lot of people have important questions about the naturally occurring mineral and its safety. At NCOHC’s annual Oral Health Day, we will take a dive into the science and safety of fluoride, examine questions about the mineral, and discuss the best ways people can make sure they keep themselves and their families safe and healthy.
We will share more information about speakers, panelists, and topics soon!
