What We Do

The Arizona Dental Hygienists’ Association is dedicated to advocacy for policies and legislation that enhance the dental hygiene profession and broaden access to preventive oral healthcare throughout Arizona. We collaborate with lawmakers, regulatory agencies, and healthcare partners to promote evidence-based policy, safeguard the scope of practice, and ensure that dental hygienists are acknowledged as vital members of the healthcare team.

Why It’s Important

Advocacy is crucial for protecting both the dental hygiene profession and the public. Without a powerful voice at the legislative and regulatory levels, decisions impacting dental hygienists—and the patients we serve—can be made without our valuable expertise. Effective advocacy fosters improved access to care, safer practice environments, professional autonomy, and enhanced oral and overall health outcomes for communities across Arizona.

How You Can Make a Difference

Advocacy is most impactful when our community is actively engaged. By becoming a member of the Arizona Dental Hygienists’ Association, staying informed, responding to calls to action, and voicing your opinions, you play a vital role in shaping the future of dental hygiene in Arizona. Whether through grassroots outreach, public testimony, or simply staying connected, your involvement amplifies our collective impact and promotes meaningful change.
