Australian Dental Health Week - August 2-8, 2021

This week is Australian Dental Health Week.

From Monday 2 August to Sunday 8 August, our focus is to increase awareness about the importance of oral health for every Australian and to support our members in enhancing their business and client relationships.

The ADIA supports the work of the Australian Dental Association and its goal to encourage the improvement of the oral and general health of the public, to promote the ethics, art and science of dentistry and to support members to provide safe, high quality professional oral care.

Visit the ADA website for more Australian Dental Health Week information on:
 

• Brushing and flossing
• Finding a dentist
• Sugar and nutrition
• Oral health resources (including in-clinic and social media marketing assets)
• Audio resources (including new ADA podcast 'Watch Your Mouth', which aims to Australians with oral health advice. The first series discusses oral health care for infants and young children).
