Welcome to the Hawaii Dental Hygienists' Association's Website! As licensed oral healthcare professionals, dental hygienists strive to improve the health of the patients they serve, both orally and systemically. The roles of the dental hygienist include clinician, researcher, patient advocate, educator and more.
