NH Dental Hygienists' Association

NH Dental Hygienists' Association "Improving Oral Health Since 1945" health care delivery system.

The American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA) was formed in 1923 to develop communication and mutual cooperation among dental hygienists. NHDHA was established in 1945 and has evolved over the years to become the largest professional organization representing over 1500 dental hygienists in the state of NH. We are a division of the American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA) with 150,000 de

ntal hygienists nationally and our members enjoy professional support, educational programs, and numerous opportunities for participation in association decision making. Locally, NHDHA monitors all oral health legislation and regulatory issues while working in collaboration with NHTI, the Board of Dental Examiners, the NH Oral Health Coalition, the NH Dental Society, Delta Dental and all stakeholders with a vested interest in oral health. NHDHA is working to capitalize on the evolving health care arena to ensure that dental hygienists assume their appropriate role in the U.S. Dental hygienists are the professionals best suited to guarantee prevention because they are regulated, licensed and educated to provide safe, effective quality oral health care to all Americans. We partner with the entities below to serve our community in the most inclusive and efficient ways.

*New Hampshire Technical Institute (NHTI) Concord’s Community College
*New Hampshire Dental Society
*New Hampshire Board of Dental Examiners
*Southern New Hampshire University
*NH Oral Health Coalition

https://conta.cc/4flVWap

The New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC) has proposed changes to Plc 1002.11 that would increase recurring licensing and permit fees for dental hygienists.

While NHDHA supports reasonable licensing fees that fund professional regulation, we believe these proposed recurring permit application processing fees place an unnecessary financial burden on dental hygienists without improving public protection or licensing services.

NHDHA recommends that permit application processing fees be charged only when a permit is initially issued or reinstated after a lapse in licensure—not every renewal for hygienists who remain continuously licensed and in good standing.

This approach would continue to support public protection while reducing unnecessary financial burdens on the dental hygiene workforce.

Take Action Today

We need your voice.

Please submit a written comment to the OPLC opposing the proposed recurring permit application processing fees.
