Two major publications are produced by ADHA—a national magazine and a scientific journal—as well as a number of specialty newsletters.

Access
Access is an informative, four-color magazine that focuses on health and practice news, professional issues, and legislative developments. It provides late-breaking news on issues that are important to dental hygienists--managed care, multiple practice settings, infection control, genetic engineering, women's health, product news, new technology, and periodontal trends. Access also brings you regular departments in quick-read formats designed for busy schedules.
