About Us
Leading the Future of Dental Hygiene in Arizona
The Arizona Dental Hygienists’ Association (AzDHA) is the main organization representing dental hygienists throughout Arizona. We focus on promoting the dental hygiene field through advocacy, education, leadership growth, and collaboration within the wider healthcare community. AzDHA aims to ensure that dental hygienists are recognized as vital preventive and primary care providers. We support our members with ongoing education, professional tools, and a united voice on legislative and regulatory issues. By engaging the community, advocating for policies, and fostering professional growth, we work to raise the profession’s profile and enhance oral and overall health for the communities we serve.
Our Vision
Our goal is for dental hygienists to be fully integrated into the healthcare system as essential primary care providers. They are acknowledged for their vital role in prevention, early detection, and managing oral–systemic health. By collaborating, advocating, and leading, dental hygienists enhance access to care and improve overall health outcomes in the communities they serve.
Our mission
The mission of the Arizona Dental Hygienists’ Association is to advance the profession of dental hygiene through advocacy, education, and leadership. AzDHA supports dental hygienists by promoting professional excellence, protecting the scope of practice, and fostering collaboration within the broader healthcare system.
