ABOUT ADHA

ADHA History

Founded in 1923, the primary goal of the American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA) was to develop a better way for dental hygienists to communicate and cooperate. Today, ADHA is the largest national organization representing the professional interests of the more than 185,000 registered dental hygienists (RDHs) across the country. Leading the way as a unified force, ADHA continues to help move your career and your profession forward.
