NH Dental Hygienists' Association

NH Dental Hygienists' Association "Improving Oral Health Since 1945" health care delivery system.

The American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA) was formed in 1923 to develop communication and mutual cooperation among dental hygienists. NHDHA was established in 1945 and has evolved over the years to become the largest professional organization representing over 1500 dental hygienists in the state of NH. We are a division of the American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA) with 150,000 dental hygienists nationally and our members enjoy professional support, educational programs, and numerous opportunities for participation in association decision making. Locally, NHDHA monitors all oral health legislation and regulatory issues while working in collaboration with NHTI, the Board of Dental Examiners, the NH Oral Health Coalition, the NH Dental Society, Delta Dental and all stakeholders with a vested interest in oral health. NHDHA is working to capitalize on the evolving health care arena to ensure that dental hygienists assume their appropriate role in the U.S. Dental hygienists are the professionals best suited to guarantee prevention because they are regulated, licensed and educated to provide safe, effective quality oral health care to all Americans. We partner with the entities below to serve our community in the most inclusive and efficient ways.

*New Hampshire Technical Institute (NHTI) Concord’s Community College
*New Hampshire Dental Society
*New Hampshire Board of Dental Examiners

🦷 Feeling Burned Out in Hygiene? You’re Not Alone.
https://nhdha.org/

Have you ever:

• Felt unsure presenting treatment to patients
• Struggled to get support or alignment from the doctor
• Finished a full hygiene day completely exhausted
• Wondered how long you can realistically keep up this pace

Many hygienists feel this way — and that’s exactly why we’re bringing this hands-on continuing education experience to our community.

Join us on March 14th for an engaging 4-hour CE program designed specifically for dental hygienists who want practical strategies they can use immediately in practice.

During this interactive session, you’ll learn how to:

✔ Present treatment recommendations confidently — without feeling pushy
✔ Integrate modern preventive tools into realistic 60-minute hygiene appointments
✔ Improve workflow systems that support efficiency and reduce burnout
✔ Strengthen communication with both doctors and patients

This isn’t your typical lecture-style CE.

This program focuses on real-world hygiene solutions that help you feel more confident, supported, and energized in your clinical role.

✨ You’ll leave with:

• Practical communication scripts
• Workflow strategies for smoother appointments
• Tools to support prevention-focused care
• Renewed confidence in your role as a dental hygienist

Because great hygiene care shouldn’t require burnout — it requires the right tools, communication, and support.

📅 Date: March 14, 2026
📍 Location: The Derryfield, Manchester, NH
⏰ Time: Registration 7:30 AM; 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Join us for a morning of learning, connection, and professional growth with fellow hygienists.
