A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING THE
MONTH OF FEBRUARY, 2002, AS
"CHILDREN'S DENTAL HEALTH MONTH"
IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made
the following determinations:
1. February is National Children's Dental Health Month, and many people are unaware of
the important role early dental care plays in the overall health of children.
2. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that parents take action early to
insure the health of their children's teeth, because attitudes and habits established at an early age are
critical in maintaining good oral health throughout life.
3. During the month of February, 2002, the St. Lucie County Health Department's Dental
Clinic has planned activities to inform, educate, empower parents about health issues and mobilize
community parmerships to continue to identify and solve dental health issues for the children in our
community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St.
Lucie County, Florida:
1. This Board does hereby proclaim the month of February, 2002, as "CHILDREN'S
DENTAL HEALTH MONTH" in St. Lucie County, Florida.
2. This Board urges the citizens of St. Lucie County to take part in the activities of the St.
Lucie County Health Department Dental Clinic during Children's Dental Health Month; and to
encourage our children to practice healthy dental care all year.
