ADHA Massachusetts

ADHA Massachusetts ADHA Massachusetts We have more concern for the general health of our patients and not just their oral health .

The Massachusetts Dental Hygienists' Association was incorporated on May 19, 1944 by 11 hygienists โ€œto assist in promoting the art and science of dental hygiene, elevate and sustain the professional character and education of the dental hygienists, promote mutual improvement, social intercourse and good will; disseminate knowledge of oral hygiene, enlighten and direct public opinion in relation to oral hygiene and dental prophylaxis; to represent, to have cognizance of and to endeavor to safeguard the common interests of the dental profession.โ€

Today's Massachusetts dental hygienists are endeavoring to do much the same thing in a different time and place. As dental hygienists in the 21st century we are also concerned with OSHA standards; with new technologies; and with increasing our political knowledge and clout to assist the profession of dental hygiene in serving the public's oral health and total health needs. The Massachusetts Dental Hygienists' Association is part of the American Dental Hygienists' Association and has representation on their Board of Trustees through the District One Trustee. We have collaborative relationships with many organizations and associations, including those in other dental fields, the medical field and public health. The Board of Trustees is the leadership conduit of the Massachusetts Dental Hygienists' Association and is lead by the President with assistance from the Executive Officers. The Board of Trustees is also comprised of Trustees that represent each of the 11 components and 6 Council Chairs. The Massachusetts Dental Hygienists' Association holds its' Annual Meeting in the fall of each year. It is at this meeting where the House of Delegates votes for its Executive Officers.

๐ŸŽ‰ Congratulations to our 2025 CONSTITUENT HYGIENIST OF THE YEAR โ€” Marcy Foreman, RDH, BS, PHDH! ๐ŸŽ‰

Marcy E. Foreman, RDH, BS, is a shining example of leadership, dedication, and innovation in dental hygiene. A graduate of the Forsyth School for Dental Hygienists at Northeastern University, Marcy has built an inspiring career focused on access to care and public health.

Through her mobile dental hygiene program, The Traveling Toothfairy, Marcy provides care to seniors, shelter residents, assisted living facilities, and homebound patients โ€” bringing healthy smiles directly to those who need it most.

Beyond her clinical work, Marcy serves as External Clinic Coordinator at Regis College Dental Hygiene Program and has proudly chaired MDHAโ€™s Council on Public Health since 2018. In 2024, she was also honored as Public Health Dental Hygienist of the Year.

Marcyโ€™s commitment extends far beyond the operatory โ€” she contributes her expertise to numerous boards and committees, including the Massachusetts Office of Oral Health Advisory Committee and the Massachusetts Special Commission on Oral Health.

โœจ Her passion for advancing Public Health Dental Hygienists (PHDHs) continues to open doors for underserved communities and future dental hygiene leaders.

Please join us in celebrating Marcy Foreman, our 2025 Constituent Hygienist of the Year! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿšจ Action Alert for Massachusetts Hygienists! ๐Ÿšจ

MDHAโ€™s critical bill S.778/H.1147 is heading to a hearing with the Joint Committee on Financial Services on Monday, October 27th at 10:30 AM โ€” and we need YOUR support!

This bill would allow Public Health Dental Hygienists (PHDHs) to bill private insurers, not just MassHealth. That means fair compensation for the vital care they provide to vulnerable patientsโ€”kids in schools, homebound individuals, rehab centers, shelters, and nursing homes.

Right now, PHDHs must either provide care for free (unsustainable!) or ask patients to pay out of pocket for services that should be covered.

Hereโ€™s how YOU can help:๏ฟฝ๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผRegister to testify in person or virtually by October 23rd at 5 PM
