Registered Dental Hygienists are essential members of collaborative care, ensuring comprehensive, patient-centered health solutions.
By Hygienists, For Hygienists
A MOVEMENT BORN FROM EXPERIENCE
Founded in 2018 by visionary hygiene leaders, NNHH elevates the RDH profession through collaborative learning to integrate oral health into patient-centered care, reduce oral-systemic disease, and ensure an RDH is recognized on every healthcare team.
Setting a New StandardÂ
PIONEERING THE FUTURE OF INTEGRATED CARE
NNHH is the first organization across the globe to develop a dental hygiene certificate program that has achieved ANSI accreditation under ASTM E2659, setting a new benchmark of quality and creating a new class of oral-systemic specialists.
Building the WorkforceÂ
WHERE MEDICINE AND DENTISTRY UNITE
NNHH certificate programs prepare RDHs to work confidently within interdisciplinary healthcare teams—from dental offices to hospitals—bridging the gap between medicine and dentistry and driving a national shift toward prevention-focused, integrative health solutions.

Often mischaracterized as being on the job trained to provide dental cleanings, dental hygienists are, in fact, highly trained, licensed, preventive specialists with extensive education in systemic health, behavioral health, patient assessment & education, and therapeutic care. Their exclusion from collaborative care models is a missed opportunity for more effective, prevention-centered healthcare.
Today's RDH does so much more than clean teeth!
To honor your work, we’ve created free oral health education resources, including a FREE oral systemic link poster, and a list of the competencies dental hygienists possess above and beyond cleaning teeth. Show your patients just how committed you are to protecting not only their smiles, but their overall health as well.Â
