Dental Hygienists Joining Together
The purpose of this website is to have an interactive website for ADHA members and NCHDA members. It will give members a way to become more up-to-date with all the latest news, along with becoming more involved. We encourage every dental hygienist to become an active member. If you aren't an ADHA member yet, now is the time to join!
Once you are an ADHA member, make sure you join this site too. It's easy, just click JOIN at the top of the page.
It is that time of year again when we begin preparing for back to school and our favorite fall events. NCDHA has lined up two of the nation's most popular speakers on today's oral health circuit for the annual "Fall Scientific Meeting".
This is THE signature "Back to School" event for North Carolina dental hygienists' ! (See registration below).
Anne Guignon has been "WOW"ing audiences across the country with her brand new course, "The Epidemics!" You won't want to miss this "hot off the press" information on current trends and diseases that are constantly emerging!
Bill Landers is an engaging and passionate speaker whose evaluation forms are usually embarrassingly flattering, with frequent comments that say he gave “One of the best presentations they’d seen”. He vows to help hygienists learn about new diagnostic technologies and anti-infective treatment therapies that can help them assess periodontal risk sooner and treat it more effectively!
We expect record attendance this year, so REGISTER EARLY!!!
CALLING ALL COASTAL CAROLINA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE ALUMNI
“If there’s time to lean, there’s time to clean,” said Barbara Branche to the Class of 1979. I remember her well – and so do you! The CCCC dental hygiene alumni are going to honor Barbara Branche for her years of service and dedication in raising all of us RDH’s into who we are now. There will be a reception for Barbara on Saturday, September 13 following the continuing education sessions at the Fall Scientific Meeting. It will be a great time to reconnect with your classmates and plan a class reunion after the reception. Barbara will be retiring in May 2009 and we want as many alumni as possible to be there for a cocktail hour to honor her and send her off into retirement in style. There will be a $20 fee to cover the cost of the room and hors d’oeuvres. Check should be payable to “RDH Reunion” and forwarded to Lynn Young (address below).
