The resolution aims to designate February as National Children's Dental Health Month in the State of Arkansas. It emphasizes the critical role that good dental health plays in the overall well-being of families and the future of the state. The resolution highlights the importance of instilling good dental habits in children, as research indicates that proper oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and preventative dental care can significantly reduce tooth decay and related illnesses. These issues contribute to school absenteeism, with millions of school hours lost annually, particularly affecting children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

By recognizing February as National Children's Dental Health Month, the resolution seeks to raise public awareness about the significance of oral health for children. It calls for a collective effort from the citizens of Arkansas to promote good dental practices and ensure healthier futures for the next generation. Additionally, the resolution mandates that copies be presented to the leaders of Delta Dental Plan of Arkansas and the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation, Inc., to acknowledge their contributions to dental health initiatives.
