2017 National Brush Day

Dec 18, 2017
National Brush Day® is November 1, the day after Halloween! Join the Kids’ Healthy Mouths Campaign to promote the importance for kids to brush two minutes, twice a day, every day.

National Brush Day® is November 1, the day after Halloween! Join the Kids’ Healthy Mouths Campaign to promote the importance for kids to brush two minutes, twice a day, every day. This year’s theme is Become a Toothsaver by Brushing 2min2x. 

Objective: The holiday was designed to reach parents on the day after Halloween to reinforce the importance of children’s oral health and promote good tooth-brushing habits. On National Brush Day® (and every day), parents are encouraged to make sure their kids brush their teeth for two minutes, twice a day. 

Motive: Tooth decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease in the U.S. More than 16 million kids suffer each year from oral disease and pain.
