Dental Hygiene Alumni Association

The UNC Adams School of Dentistry Dental Hygiene Program has been in existence since 1953. Since then, more than 1,400 individuals have graduated from the program and have become dental hygienists, dental hygiene educators, administrators and more.

The program’s alumni represent the best of dental hygiene and are its greatest resource for fostering the future growth and development of our profession.

Through participation in the Dental Hygiene Association, alumni can support the dental hygiene program and share in a commitment to maintain the integrity of dental hygiene.
