Chat Guidelines

Questions will be posted to Twitter by AUCD. Each question will begin with an identifier such as Q1.
Each answer should include two things: an identifier such as A1 so people know which question you're answering, and the chat hashtag #HealthyTeeth4all so that all parts of the conversation can stick together.
When you refresh your Twitter page, make sure it's set to "latest" so you see the latest tweets in the chat.
