During Dental Health Week in August 2026, various Australian dental providers launched initiatives to promote oral hygiene across different age groups.

In Sydney, efforts focused on young adults aged 18 to 25, with practitioners such as Dr Vicky Ho advising against social media trends in favor of professional examinations. Providers highlighted orthodontic options, including metal braces and clear aligners, supported by digital scanning technology and flexible payment plans.

In Horsham, community outreach targeted young children through kindergarten visits. The Horsham Dental Group utilized interactive educational activities, such as games and mascots, to encourage positive dental hygiene habits from an early age.
