Get your dental practice involved in this year's Dental Health Week (3-9 August). The campaign centres on "Seven Sporting Sins" and how to care for oral health whilst being active and playing sport.

The main areas of focus are promoting the use of mouth guards and warnings about consumption of sports drinks. To get involved, download the event handbook, posters and other campaign material from the ADA Inc. Dental Health Week website.

Sporting clubs, schools and community groups can also get involved with a variety of free classroom, community group and sporting club resources available on the ADA Inc. website.
