MDHA Program at Spirit of Michigan!

Michigan Dental Hygienists’ Association Program The Spirit of Michigan meeting has always been a favorite of mine, catching up with colleagues, making new friends, visiting the exhibits, learning about the local scene, and attending valuable seminars. That’s what this meeting is all about. The MDHA is excited to partner with the MDA to provide relevant programs to increase your knowledge and enhance your patients’ health. Dr. Molinari returns this year to update us on “Vaccine Recommendations: Science, Success and Myths.” We also have a few new presenters who will provide information about the dental hygienist’s role in: fluoride and antimicrobials; optimizing dental hygiene — regenerative therapies; and identifying malocclusion and the benefits of tooth alignment. What can you do to support your profession and the association that works for you? Stop by the MDHA table located in front of the exhibit hall and connect with leaders to learn about exciting opportunities occurring across the state. Partner with us to let the residents of Michigan know what the letters RDH stand for. Explore the opportunities where you can make a difference in the lives of the citizens of Michigan.
