2026 NDHA Annual Conference
July 16-19, 2026
Richmond Convention Center
Richmond, Virginia
The National Dental Hygienists’ Association (NDHA) invites oral health professionals, educators, students, and industry partners to join us in Richmond, Virginia, for a transformative experience that bridges innovation, inclusion, and impact.
This year’s convention will spotlight the intersection of technology, cultural competence, and community care — equipping today’s dental hygienists to thrive in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape. Attendees can expect:
Hands-On Learning in the Age of AI: Participate in dynamic clinical workshops and live demonstrations exploring how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping diagnostics, radiology, and patient communication — while maintaining the human touch that defines compassionate care.
Cultural Competence & Health Equity: Gain tools to deliver culturally responsive care to diverse populations. Sessions will focus on improving access and building trust with communities most vulnerable to oral-systemic disease disparities.
Empowerment Through Education: Earn continuing-education credits from expert-led seminars that connect cutting-edge science with everyday practice.
Networking & Mentorship: Engage with national leaders, educators, and peers committed to advancing minority representation and oral health equity.
Community Impact: Learn how NDHA initiatives — like the Oral Health Equity Tour — are transforming outreach and creating pathways for future hygienists.
This isn’t just a conference — it’s a movement.
Together, we’re shaping the future of oral health through knowledge, innovation, and purpose-driven leadership.
NDHA Oral Health Equity Tour
NDHA is proud to partner with existing community service events bringing oral health supplies, education and prevention component to them by integrating our mission into programs that already serve vulnerable populations. We amplify collective impact and promote access to care. If you are interested in us joining your event, please email us at ndhaltweb@gmail.com.
