Oral Health Information

Call your Senators Today – Join in the Effort to Enact H.R. 1108/S. 625!
On July 30 the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1108, legislation that would grant the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the authority to regulate the marketing, manufacturing, and sale of tobacco products. Tobacco products are currently among the least regulated products sold in the country and are exempt from regulations that apply to other consumer products.

Journal of Dental Hygiene…
See What You’ve Been Missing
On a recently conducted ADHA survey, 88.9 percent of respondents reported that having a peer-reviewed journal like the Journal of Dental Hygiene (JDH) is important for the profession. On the same survey, only 62.7 percent of respondents said that they had actually read JDH during the past 12 months. If you are among the nearly 40 percent who have not read JDH, here’s an opportunity to find out what you have been missing. As a new feature, www.adha.org will highlight articles from past editions of JDH and make them available for viewing to any visitor. A rapidly evolving body of research and a highly regarded scientific journal to report the findings are vital components of a growing profession. Find out for yourself what you have been missing by reading this highlighted article from JDH today!
