A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO DECLARE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2006, AS "SOUTH CAROLINA GIVE KIDS A SMILE DAY" TO PROMOTE ORAL HYGIENE AND TO JOIN IN THE EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE NATION TO ADVOCATE ORAL HEALTH AWARENESS.

Whereas, the State of South Carolina is proud to promote good oral health through "South Carolina Give Kids a Smile Day" on Saturday, February 4, 2006; and

Whereas, "South Carolina Give Kids a Smile Day", is a day set aside to focus attention on the epidemic of untreated oral disease among disadvantaged children; and

Whereas, dental decay is a problem that is not widely recognized, but is detrimental to the health of South Carolinians. It 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, in large part, is dependent on the good health of our families; and

Whereas, good overall health can be achieved in part through regular oral health care; and

Whereas, the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina stands committed to supporting regular and thorough oral health care for the children of our State, so they may smile brightly and proudly in the future. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, declare Saturday, February 4, 2006, as "South Carolina Give Kids a Smile Day" to promote oral hygiene and join in the efforts throughout the nation to advocate oral health awareness.

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