The latest winners of the Alabama Department of Public Health's (ADPH) Share Your Smile with Alabama contest are students from the Black Belt.
This was the ninth annual competition, said an announcement from ADPH on Thursday.
The winners are Kaydense Anthony-Johnson from Macon County, who attends George Washington Carver Elementary School in Tuskegee, and Caleb Patterson from Montgomery County, who attends MacMillan International Magnet School in Montgomery.
They will be highlighted for campaigns promoting dental health among youths, particularly during February, which is National Children’s Dental Health Month.
“We sponsor this contest each year to increase awareness of the benefits of good oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers, and others," said State Dental Health Director Dr. Tommy Johnson. "Developing good oral health habits at an early age and regular dental visits lead to a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.”
