Dental Hygienist Liaison (DHL) Project
The DHL project has a volunteer dental hygienist in each state who promotes oral health for children enrolled in Head Start programs. The volunteer collaborates with state level stakeholders, giving state level oral health presentations, and working with oral health professionals to establish partnerships with local Head Start programs. Each DHL is supported by a Regional Dental Hygienist Liaison Coordinator (RDHLC), who oversees and mentors the DHLs in their region and facilitates resource sharing. The DHL in your state can be a great resource for hygienists working with local Head Start programs.
