Dental Hygiene Liaisons

The Dental Hygiene Liaison (DHL) Project through the National Center on Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety (NCHBHS) is seeking volunteers to fill open positions in New York-West and North Dakota.

Under the DHL project, one dental hygienist from each state volunteers to help promote oral health for pregnant women and children enrolled in Head Start. This program has been in operation for over 10 years and the state DHLs have been successful in helping Head Start programs connect kids to care, share quality oral health educational resources, provide technical assistance, and give presentations to staff, parents, and kids. A $590 annual stipend is available to help cover any costs associated with support, including membership dues for ADHA and/or ASTDD.

Remote Area Medical (RAM) Volunteer Corps

Dental Hygienist Volunteers Needed! RAM provides free medical, dental and vision services on a first-come, first-served basis over two days to the uninsured and underinsured populations at various locations throughout the year. The pop-up clinics are located in a rural and critically medically underserved areas with limited access services. As a result, there are very few local providers available to volunteer their time. Volunteers can sign up for as little as one-half day or the entire weekend. Any time commitment is welcome to support these efforts. Learn more about the program at RAMUSA.org.
