Preparing Registered Dental Hygienists for multidisciplinary oral-systemic education, collaboration, and integration
NNHH is a 501c (3) professional support organization for Registered Dental Hygienists who have a mindset of oral-systemic wellness over dental health alone.
We offer resources and certificate programs in areas of medicine to support RDHs working in integrated settings, educating multidisciplinary teams and patients, developing oral-systemic prevention & treatment programs, and collaborating with medical providers.

by Katharine Martinez, MPH, RDH

Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program™ Achieves Accreditation Through ANAB
A first in all of dentistry for a certificate program to meet both AGD PACE and ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) standards. The Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program™ provides Registered Dental Hygienists with more comprehensive education than traditional dental CE offers, and is far more focused and affordable than a university degree. Hospitals and healthcare systems expect accreditation as a mark of quality and excellence, so NNHH is addressing an educational workforce gap, while creating new career opportunities for RDHs.
