The Massachusetts Dental Hygienists' Association was incorporated on May 19, 1944 by 11 hygienists “to assist in promoting the art and science of dental hygiene, elevate and sustain the professional character and education of the dental hygienists, promote mutual improvement, social intercourse and good will; disseminate knowledge of oral hygiene, enlighten and direct public opinion in relation to oral hygiene and dental prophylaxis; to represent, to have cognizance 
of and to endeavor to safeguard the common interests of the dental profession.”
Today's Massachusetts dental hygienists are endeavoring to do much the same thing in a different time and place. We have more concern for the general health of our patients and not just their oral health . As dental hygienists in the 21st century we are also concerned with OSHA standards; with new technologies; and with increasing our political knowledge and clout to assist the profession of dental hygiene in serving the public's oral health and total health needs.
The Massachusetts Dental Hygienists' Association is part of the American Dental Hygienists' Association and has representation on their Board of Trustees through the District One Trustee. We have collaborative relationships with many organizations and associations, including those in other dental fields, the medical field and public health.
