The Only One of its Kind...

A first....that I know of... has happened in Alberta, Canada. The Association of Private Practice Dental Hygienists of Alberta has launched into existence. From all over Alberta APPDHA members are proud to be part of the first association of its kind. Thank you to all those whose support and hard work has made this possible.

Over the next few weeks, the web pages at www.MyDentalHygienitst.ca will be built and will include information on membership, our mission statement, our directors, how to find a PPDH in your area, FAQ's, Did you know? page, links, contact us, and much more. This blog page will be updated as well, as frequently as possible.

As the world watches Alberta grows in many industries, ours is one of those who's beginnings started over fifteen years ago when a Dental Hygienist had a vision for independent practices across the province. She worked endlessly to see it come to fruition only 18 months ago. Since then, 24 private practice dental hygiene businesses are now in existence. I am sure she is thrilled to see her dream fulfilled and our practices thriving, thanks to many entrepreneurs in the province.

All the best to those already in private practice, and to those who wished to be........we are here to help. Contact us with your questions and arrange to meet with one of us, we are only too happy to promote our industry.
And now.........it's off to work because......... I owe, I owe.......

APPDHA to launch website

In 2006 the legislation governing dental hygienists in Alberta changed, allowing us to open our own businesses. We are members of and registered with the College of Registered Dental Hygienists of Alberta, the governing body for our profession in Alberta. The new Dental Hygienists Profession Regulation can be viewed on the College's website at www.crdha.ca We also are members of the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association. www.cdha.ca

The Association of Private Practice Dental Hygienists of Alberta is presently being organized. We will be launching our website soon at www.myDentalHygienist.ca On our web pages you will find information about who we are, what we do and where you can find a private practice dental hygienist in your area.
