IFDH President Participates in WHO Webinar

As part of World Oral Health Day, IFDH President Jill Rethman represented the global dental hygiene community at a World Health Organization-hosted webinar, participating in an important panel discussion. During the discussion, she highlighted “the critical role of dental hygienists, dental therapists, and oral health therapists in prevention and health promotion - far beyond the traditional clinical setting. From hospitals and long-term care facilities to outreach in remote and underserved communities, our professions are uniquely positioned to drive meaningful change and improve access to care.”


IFDH New Booth to be Unveiled

IFDH has recently produced a new 20’ wide booth, which will appear at the 2026 International Symposium on Dental Hygiene trade show in Milan, Italy. We’ve kept a consistent look with our other communications. The design is very eye-catching and free-flowing, while the content is timeless. There is also a call to action for membership, with a QR code. Drop by and say hello!
