Welcome to the San Diego Dental Hygiene Society website. Please browse and familiarize yourself with our society. We are a component with much to offer: community service, continuing education, camaraderie, networking, leadership opportunities and feedback from your fellow peers and associates. Reach out to T.E.A.C.H. is our theme for 2008-2009. Reach out to Train and Educate, Take Action to grow and help others in the Community. Think about your good Healthy choices and how it affects others. We invite you to our programs where you can network with your peers and professional representatives while enjoying the food, friendship and factual information. Susan Bunn, RDH, President |

| Do you have a patient or family member who needs dental hygiene services delivered to their home or healthcare facility? Do you work with other healthcare providers who are not familiar with the services of a Registered Dental Hygienist in Alternative Practice? Many physicians, especially those who specialize in geriatrics are not aware of the services a RDHAP is able to provide to how to go about finding one. We have RDHAPs available in San Diego! For information 24/7 access the CDHA website at www.cdha.org and under “What is a RDHAP?” you can click on Find a member RDHAP in your area for a listing. | |

| Self regulation will become a reality on July 1, 2009. The Dental Hygiene Committee of California (DHCC) will replace COMDA to represent us. The Board will consist of nine members appointed by the Governor – 4 public members, 1 practicing dentist and 4 dental hygienists, one being an educator and another being in alternative practice or extended functions. The dream has become reality! Visit COMDA.ca.gov for upcoming information. | |
