National Children’s Dental Health Month highlights free dental services for children and families.​​ 

薩克拉門托——加州衛生保健服務部 (DHCS) 正在協調一項全州範圍的「微笑加州」雙語宣傳活動,以幫助兒童和家庭了解早期和定期牙科護理的重要性,並鼓勵使用免費的 Medi-Cal 牙科預防服務。該活動包括易於使用的英語和西班牙語材料,解釋了家庭在牙科就診期間可以期待什麼以及如何根據 Medi-Cal 獲得護理。它旨在透過幫助兒童做好準備,讓家長對安排預防性牙科檢查充滿信心,從而減少就醫障礙。​​ 

"DHCS Medi-Cal 牙科服務處處長 Dana Durham 表示:「牙齒問題不僅會造成疼痛,還會妨礙學習、影響自信心,並擴大成績差距。「好消息是,這些問題大多數都是可以預防的,而且 Medi-Cal 承保兒童的定期牙科保健,家庭無需負擔任何費用」。​​  

Throughout National Children’s Dental Health Month, Smile, California is encouraging parents, schools, and community partners to help children build healthy habits, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, eating nutritious foods, and visiting the dentist regularly. ​​  

為了支援家庭, Smile, California 推出了全新的 英文西班牙文 數位故事書《 Jasmín 去看牙醫 》。它會逐步帶領兒童進行定期檢查。從椅子上方明亮的燈光到衛生員用來清潔牙齒的工具,這個故事有助於將牙科就診的經驗正常化,讓兒童知道牙科就診可以是舒適、友善,甚至有趣的。​​  

這本小冊子也包括給家長的特別部分,鼓勵在家中公開談論牙齒保健,並提醒家庭 Medi-Cal 免費承保整個家庭的預防和修復服務。​​  

WHY THIS MATTERS: Dental problems are one of the most common, yet preventable, health issues affecting children in California. When children receive preventive care early and regularly, families can avoid unnecessary dental pain, reduce missed school days, and decrease the need for emergency treatment later in life. The new bilingual campaign supports families in navigating dental care and understanding covered benefits through Medi-Cal Dental.​​  

Recent data show that more than 350,000 children and teens missed at least one school day because of dental issues, demonstrating the impact untreated dental problems can have on student well-being and their ability to learn, adding up to more than 869,000 lost school days and a cost of roughly $60 million to school districts.  ​​  

關於 Medi-Cal 牙科:所有加入 Medi-Cal 的兒童和青少年每年都有資格獲得兩次免費牙科檢查,以及洗牙、氟化物治療、密封劑和其他預防性服務。除其他承保服務外,21 歲以上的成人每年可接受一次免費牙科檢查。家長可以在 SmileCalifornia.org 找到 Medi-Cal 的 牙醫並瞭解更多資訊。​​
