The purpose for which this Association is organized is: to serve the public by advancing the art and science of dental hygiene, to increase awareness of oral health needs, to improve access to quality oral health care, to promote the highest standards of dental hygiene education, and to represent the profession of dental hygiene.
This site was set up as a way to publicize our association, keep members in Dade County informed, and attract a broader audience. We'll use this site o get the word out about our organization and create a better sense of community among our members.
Welcome to the SFDHA website, I hope you find our website informative. As a component of ADHA (our national organization), we are reaching out to dental hygienist of Florida who either live in South Florida or visit South Florida to become members of this organization and support our endeavors in growing our profession. There are many efforts in place that FDHA is working on in collaboration with the FDA that would for example allow Registered Dental Hygienists to improve and provide direct access to preventive oral health services in programs and institutions. Together we can help this happen.
