Children’s Dental Health Month: Bring Brighter Smiles to Your Clients

Feb. 11, 2026

Applies to All Groups*

Children’s Dental Health Month highlights how early dental habits support a child’s overall wellbeing, including their ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, learn confidently and feel their best. 

Why It Matters for Your Groups 
Reinforcing preventive dental care is a simple way to help your clients support healthier families. When employers understand and promote preventive services, it can lead to stronger engagement and better overall satisfaction with their dental benefits. 

Supporting Member Engagement 
Our Dental Wellness emails provide parents with easy-to-understand information about preventive care, including the importance of routine dental cleanings and sealants for children. We’ve refreshed these communications for 2026 with a new design to make them even more engaging. 

Shareable Resources for Your Clients 
Encourage your clients to explore our Dental Wellness Center for clear, member-friendly guidance on children’s preventive dental care.
