Everything is bigger in Texas. Since 1927, the Texas Dental Hygienists’ Association (TDHA) has grown from a small group of pioneers into ADHA’s largest constituent. TDHA’s advocacy works tirelessly to expand hygienists’ scope of practice, securing local infiltration anesthesia administration rights in 2023.
Texas welcomes you with open arms and a friendly, “Howdy!” From bustling cities to sprawling ranches, Texas blends modern flair with rich tradition. Join fellow hygienists at RDH Under One Roof, where top-tier continuing education meets legendary Texas hospitality. Between sessions, you can savor world-class cuisine, hit the dance floor, or explore historic sites.
