Duval County Public Schools' Benefits

Delta Dental

Children's Dental Health

You can participate in Children's Dental Health Month or promote children's dental health any time of the year with flyers, posters, games and other materials to help children develop good oral health habits for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

We've created an online kit of children's dental health materials  at the http://www.deltadentalins.com/administrators/guidance/childrens-dental-health-month.html

This kit includes:

  • Dental health articles for kids and teens

  • A dental health poster

  • Dental health flyers

  • An opportunity for parents and teachers to nominate a classroom for a visit from Delta Dental's Teeth-on-the-Go elementary school outreach program.

Also, be sure to visit Delta’s children's web site at www.mysmilekids.com for fun activities, games and information on children's dental health. You can also view the web site in Spanish.

The children's web site includes a new Guess the Word game , Tooth brushing Calendar and an interactive cavity risk quiz that takes only a few minutes to complete, but offers a wealth of information about preventing cavities. It's quick, fun and educational – and you can even listen to Kayla Smyle of the SmileKids narrate the quiz responses.

Free dental health e-newsletter

One of the advantages enjoyed by delta dental participants are the option to receive dental health information on a regular basis through e-mail.

The Delta Dental online newsletter, Dental Wire, is produced by Delta Dental as a free service for participants. Participants simply sign up on delta’s web site at http://www.deltadentalins.com/oral_health/ to receive the newsletter by e-mail six times a year.

Dental Wire includes such information as:

  • Dental health tips

  • Ways to maximize your Delta Dental benefits
