This week the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) and CareQuest Institute for Oral Health announced the launch of the Dental Hygienist Licensure Map, an interactive resource that provides state-by-state licensure information for dental hygienists across the United States. The tool consolidates previously scattered information into one accessible platform, serving the professional needs of more than 220,000 dental hygienists nationwide.
The map provides detailed information across multiple licensure categories, including initial licensure requirements, continuing education renewal requirements, licensure by credentials, specialty licensure, and dental hygiene compact states. It also includes scope of practice information and direct links to state licensing boards, making it a 1-stop reference for dental hygienists navigating professional requirements.
