The Lake County Dental Hygienists’ Society (LCDHS) is your local component of the Illinois Dental Hygienists’ Association (IDHA) if you live or work in the Lake County area. We are a tri-partite organization of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA), the only authoritative voice for Dental Hygienists.
The American Dental Hygienists’ Association is the largest national organization representing the professional interests of more than 120,000 dental hygienists across the country.
Our purpose is to aid in the mission of the IDHA and ADHA:
“To improve the public’s total health, to advance the art and science of dental hygiene by ensuring access to quality oral health care, increasing awareness of the cost-effective benefits of prevention, promoting the highest standards of dental hygiene education, licensure and practice, and research and representing and promoting the interests of dental hygienists.”
