February marks the celebration of a month long focus on Children’s Dental Health, while the month of March focuses on celebrating reading. Why not celebrate both at the same time! It is a perfect opportunity to use a new list of 22 recommended children’s books on oral health created by the Maryland Dental Action Coalition in conjunction with the Health Sciences & Human Services Library (HS/HSL). The book list supports increased access to oral health information for children, families and health professionals and provided guidance to those who purchase and utilize children’s books to promote oral health.  Click here to access the list.   Every book is available for check out at the HS/HSL!
