Two third graders from Lowndes and Montgomery counties are the winners of the "Share Your Smile with Alabama" contest by the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH).
This was the eighth annual contest and promotes children's oral health throughout the state.
The winners were Channing Rose Coghlan from Lowndes County, who attends Fort Dale Academy in Butler County, and Trivedh Neel Thota, from Montgomery County, who attends Pike Road Elementary School.
We sponsor this annual contest to promote the benefits of good oral health to children, their caregivers, teachers, and others. Developing good oral health habits at an early age and scheduling regular dental visits helps children begin a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums," said State Dental Health Director Dr. Tommy Johnson.
To promote oral health for children the American Dental Association for National Children’s Dental Health Month 2025 will develop posters captioned with: “I brush my teeth twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste to keep my smile strong.”
