About the MDHA

The Manitoba Dental Hygienists Association (MDHA), established in 1966, is an organization representing dental hygienists from across Manitoba. It is administered by an executive director and a volunteer executive and committee. With the imminent attainment of professional self-regulation, comes a new responsibility for our organization as we will now become an important player in the health policy community of Manitoba. It is the mandate of the MDHA to cultivate, promote, and sustain the art and science of dental hygiene, to represent, maintain, and safeguard the honour and communication, unity, and social intercourse among its members, and to contribute toward the education and improvement of the health of the public.

The mission of the MDHA is to:

Meet the oral disease prevention and oral health promotion needs of Manitobans and all Canadians.
Ensure access fro all to dental hygiene services and that these services are of a high standard of care and ethic.
Act as the collective voice, resource, and advocacy body for dental hygienists.
Strive for the continued growth and development of the dental hygiene profession.

The association activities are directed to achieve this mission.
