 A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2003, AS "SOUTH
 CAROLINA GIVE KIDS A SMILE DAY" AND JOIN IN THE EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE NATION
 TO PROMOTE ORAL HEALTH AWARENESS.

   02/12/03  House  Introduced and adopted HJ-4

TO RECOGNIZE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2003, AS "SOUTH CAROLINA GIVE KIDS A SMILE DAY" AND JOIN IN THE EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE NATION TO PROMOTE ORAL HEALTH AWARENESS.

Whereas, dental decay is five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever; and

Whereas, an estimated twenty-three million children in America are without dental insurance; and

Whereas, the future is, to a large measure, dependent on the good health of our families; and

Whereas, good health can be achieved in part through access to regular oral health care, good oral health habits learned early and reinforced throughout life. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize Saturday, February 15, 2003, as "South Carolina Give Kids A Smile Day" and join in the efforts throughout the nation to promote oral health awareness.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the South Carolina Dental Association.
