Policies

The IFDH supports Dental Hygienists as health care professionals
who are key providers of primary oral health care
preventive and maintenance services.
Dental Hygienists may work autonomously
and participate with interdisciplinary health care teams
to provide total health care to the public across the life span.

IFDH Code of Ethics.

The IFDH policy on Social Responsibility
is to promote access to quality preventive oral health services,
increase public awareness that
oral disease can be prevented through proven regimens
and provide a forum for the understanding and discussion
of issues pertaining to dental hygiene.
