Montgomery third graders win ADPH Share Your Smile contest

Cailyn Patterson and Braylin Colvin won the ADPH's Share Your Smile photo contest in January. 

Two third graders from Montgomery were the winners of the Share Your Smile photo contest by the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH). 

Braylen Colvin of LEAD Academy in Montgomery and Cailyn Patterson of Forest Avenue Academic Magnet School were the selected overall winners. 

"February is National Children’s Dental Health Month 2023. The theme for this year is 'Brush. Floss. Smile.' State Dental Health Director Dr. Tommy Johnson said. 

“We sponsor this annual contest to bring attention to children’s oral health care and to remind everyone of the need to brush and floss their teeth daily. We also want to encourage community water fluoridation and promote the FDA-approved HPV vaccine for children beginning at 9 years of age.”
