Waves of Purple for NDHW™ 2026

Dental hygiene pride and passion were on full display earlier this month as dental hygienists across the country put their purple on to celebrate the profession during National Dental Hygienists Week™ (NDHW™), April 4‒10. The “Oral Health for Total Health” message was widely spread thanks to an abundance of educational content shared on social platforms. The 120 landmarks lit in purple and hundreds of inspiring photos and videos were proof positive that dental hygiene pride is strong. Visit our photo gallery for the highlights.

Submit your Put Your Purple On! contest photo entries until April 30; colouring contest entries will be accepted until May 1. Send a brief description of how you celebrated the week or oral health month to marketing@cdha.ca by May 15 for a chance to win more great prizes! #showusyourNDHW

CDHA thanks our generous sponsors Dentsply Sirona, GUM^®, Securian Canada, PHILIPS Sonicare, and PHILIPS ZOOM! for helping make this week possible. Mark your calendar—April 4 to 10, 2027—for #NDHW27!

Intraoral Radiographs Position Paper

CDHA’s latest position paper argues that dental hygienists across Canada must have the authority to use intraoral radiographs as a component of best practice in managing periodontal care for their patients.

Find a Dental Hygienist Online Directory

As media-savvy influencers can attest, self-promotion through social interactions and online advertising plays a key role in attracting followers and building solid client bases. CDHA encourages Independent Practice Network (IPN) members to create a workplace profile in our Find a Dental Hygienist online directory. It’s a great way to increase your visibility in your community and reach potential clients looking for independent dental hygiene services.
