HB414 Has Passed! A Historic Moment for Dental Hygiene in Utah

We are thrilled to share that HB414 has officially passed and barring a veto from the Governor will become law in May. This is a significant advancement for dental hygiene practice in Utah and for the patients and communities we serve.

With the passage of HB414, we can now add hospitals to the list of public health settings a licensed dental hygienists in Utah is now recognized to provide care in:

Hospitals

Long-term care facilities

Assisted living facilities

Residences of the homebound

Community health clinics

Public health agencies

Schools

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)

Mobile Dental Health Programs

This legislation strengthens access to care across the state and reinforces the essential role dental hygienists play as primary oral healthcare providers.

This milestone was made possible because of advocacy efforts led by the Utah Dental Hygienists' Association and the dedication of members who support legislative initiatives that move our profession forward.

Now the work continues.

The UDHA Legislative Committee will be actively working with our lobbyist and focusing on:

Educating dental hygienists on practicing in these expanded settings

Building relationships with hospital systems and healthcare associations

Advocating for integration of dental hygienists within interdisciplinary medical teams

Supporting implementation and awareness of this new law

If you are not yet a member of ADHA/UDHA, now is the time to join. Legislative changes like HB414 happen because of organized advocacy, and your membership ensures continued progress for our profession. Join today and be part of shaping the future of dental hygiene in Utah.

Together, we are expanding access, elevating our profession, and creating new opportunities for dental hygienists statewide.
