ADHA Stateline

  • Looking for a simple way to stay up-to-date on important legislative and regulatory developments affecting oral health care and the dental hygiene profession today? The “Stateline” column found in each issue of Access magazine covers the latest issues facing your profession from coast to coast. Topics such as the Dental Practice Act, a state law that determines what is required to become licensed to practice as a dental professional and can only be amended with a legislative act.

  • Stay informed by reading the latest edition of Stateline now. You can also download Bills Into Law to see what legislation became law in the past year. Plus, ADHA’s legislative tracker offers daily updates on currently pending legislation.

​​

Strive

  • Strive is a student-written column in Access magazine giving students the chance to publish research papers or submit articles of concern and interest to them. It was conceived as the answer to an expressed need from student members of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association.

  • Anyone currently enrolled in a dental hygiene educational program may submit a column for consideration; however, no submission will be considered if a faculty mentor is not identified. When submitting, please copy your faculty mentor on all correspondence.

 

Access Magazine Working Column:​

A dental hygiene education can prepare you with the knowledge and skills to embark on a growing number and variety of career paths.

Dental hygienists are employed in a wide variety of settings, including public health, academia, consulting, corporate environments, and non-profit organizations. They work collaboratively with other healthcare professions in practice settings where they are integrated as primary care providers working to improve the public’s oral and overall health.

Access’ “Working” column profiles professional dental hygienists using their dental hygiene education in settings beyond the private practice dental office. Read the column to learn about those employment opportunities, and discover the common thread that runs through all these stories: there is no predetermined path that will take you to your perfect career. It’s a combination of keeping your head up, connecting the dots, and being ready when the opportunity presents itself.
