National Children's Dental Health Month




February Makes Us Shiver With Every Toothbrush We Deliver
We’re excited it’s February! And not just because of Valentine’s day. Did you know February is designated as National Children’s Dental Health Month?  This means that dental professionals across America make a special effort to help educate families on oral health topics, as well as facilitate dental care for those in need.

As part of an effort to encourage children to brush two times a day, for two minutes at a time, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry set a program in motion called 2Min2X. It can be found on the user-friendly website: mychildrensteeth.org

To view the mobile site on your phone, just enter the standard URL –


It should automatically open as the mobile version. Those with iPhones and Android devices will be prompted to download the app version of the page to your phones when the site first loads.

One of the purposes of this app is to provide a ‘toothbrushing timer’. Each video segment is 2 minutes long - designed to encourage children to brush for the right amount of time. Check it out! This might prove to be very useful for your kids.

And from all of your friends at Colorado Springs Pediatric Dentistry:

“Happy Brushing!”
