“This year’s group puts us over 100 dental hygienists who have been honored with this award during the 13 years since we began collaborating with Sunstar Americas for the award,” said Craig Dickson, publisher of RDH magazine. “Every year, it has been a pleasure to meet the eight new members of this society of very distinctive hygienists.”
A panel of three judges evaluated the nominations for the award. The Sunstar/RDH Award of Distinction started in 2002.
