Each February, the Kansas Dental Association participates in the National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) campaign to educate children, parents, and teachers on the importance of good oral health. 

In 2017, the KDA held its annual Drawing Contest, as well as the fourth annual Class Project Contest, with the theme, "Choose Tap Water for a Sparkling Smile." All elementary schools in Kansas received an information packet with contest materials, activity sheets, posters, and more - and all third grade students in Kansas were invited to participate in the contests.

We received many wonderful submissions for both contests. Thank you to everyone who participated!

The Drawing Contest Winners are listed below. Winners of the KDA Class Project Contest will be announced on or around Monday, April 10.
