National Dental Hygienists Week™ is an annual event dedicated to heighten awareness about preventive oral health care and to help Canadians understand the role and importance of the dental hygiene profession. The Canadian Dental Hygienists Association, as the collective voice of dental hygiene in Canada, is proud to sponsor National Dental Hygienists Week.
Each year in April, dental hygienists in every province and territory will be marking NDHW in diverse and creative ways. Activities are frequently community outreach events and often include contests, classroom presentations, mall displays, tours of dental offices, and much more!
National Dental Hygienists Week is a perfect time to remember that a healthy mouth is much more than a great smile. Regular brushing and flossing, a healthy diet, and visits to your dental hygienist contribute to a lifetime of talking, eating, and smiling.
As prevention professionals, dental hygienists help you maintain healthy teeth and gums and also provide important information and advice on the link between oral health and total well-being.
Join us in celebrating National Dental Hygienists Week April 15-21, 2007.
