National Cleft & Craniofacial Awareness & Prevention Month
July is National Cleft & Craniofacial Awareness & Prevention Month (NCCAPM).
Cleft and craniofacial conditions affect thousands of infants, children, teens and adults in the United States each year. Some are born with congenital anomalies like cleft lip and palate, others with more complex, life-threatening craniofacial conditions.
These conditions include orofacial birth defects as well as conditions acquired as a result of trauma, burns, and disease.
