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 “to 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.”

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.

Big news for oral health in Massachusetts! 🦷

Our Dental Therapy Senate bill has officially been reported out of the Massachusetts Senate Committee on Health Care Financing favorably and is now moving to the Massachusetts Senate Committee on Ways and Means.

Advancing out of Health Care Financing means the committee recognized the value of dental therapists in expanding access to care and improving cost-effectiveness within our health system. As the bill heads to Ways and Means, the focus shifts to fiscal considerations and the broader impact on the state budget — a critical step forward.

Dental therapy is about increasing access to care, especially for underserved communities, while building a more efficient, team-based model of care. Moving into Ways and Means signals that this conversation is being taken seriously at the highest levels.

Thank you to everyone who has testified, emailed, and advocated. Your voices are making a difference.

We’re not done yet — stay engaged.

Big news for Massachusetts dental hygienists. Our Senate Nitrous Oxide bill has been reported favorably, a major milestone after the bill failed to move out of the Public Health Committee last session. For the first time, it has now advanced through two committees, demonstrating real momentum for patient access and modernized practice.

While the Senate Public Health Dental Hygienist Reimbursement bill was sent to study, advocacy continues. The House version of the bill remains active and faces an important deadline on March 18. Continued engagement will be critical as we work to move this legislation forward.

Progress takes persistence, and we remain committed to advancing oral health and the dental hygiene profession in Massachusetts.
