Who we are

The DHAA was formed to advance quality dental hygiene care by uniting, supporting, empowering, and advocating for Alberta dental hygienists. One of our goals is to have oral healthcare recognized as integral to Alberta’s healthcare delivery system.

As a local association we intend to advance the role of the dental hygienist as primary care professionals. Supporting all of our members in research, education, practice, community service, and policy. We will represent the Dental Hygienists of Alberta to encourage awareness, dialogue and support. We will inform governments of our position, lobby and advocate where appropriate.

Who represents you?

It is the aim of dental hygiene organizations across the nation to be united with a shared purpose. Only then can the profession advance to better support its members and the public at large. However, achieving this may require the work of various professional organizations with direct focus.

As it may be challenging to navigate through these organizations, we have created a brief outline highlighting the key points of the professional dental hygiene organizations applicable to Alberta dental hygienists.
