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 early in life, as research indicates that proper oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and preventative care can significantly reduce tooth decay and related health issues. These dental problems contribute to school absenteeism, with millions of 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 state's youth. Additionally, the resolution mandates that a copy be presented to the leaders of Delta Dental Plan of Arkansas and the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation, Inc., to acknowledge their role in supporting dental health initiatives.
