The resolution recognizes February 2025 as "Children's Dental Health Month" in the State of Rhode Island, in alignment with the American Dental Association's ongoing efforts since 1949 to promote good oral health habits among children. This year's theme, "Brushing Fights Cavities," emphasizes the importance of proper dental care in maintaining overall health, particularly as childhood cavities remain a prevalent and preventable issue affecting over 74% of children who have not seen a dentist by age one. The resolution highlights the barriers to accessing dental care that many children face, which can lead to significant health and quality of life issues.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for continued efforts to expand access to dental care in Rhode Island, advocating for the replication of successful models from other states and collaboration among various stakeholders, including the state, dental professionals, and community organizations. It also stresses the importance of integrating oral health education into educational environments to foster better dental hygiene practices among children. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy to the Executive Director of the Rhode Island Dental Association.
