The Journal of Dental Hygiene turns 100 in 2026 – and Editor in Chief Cathy Draper joins Matt Crespin to preview the year-long celebration: congratulatory letters from association and industry partners, social media scavenger hunts through the archives, "then and now" features comparing dental hygiene in 1926 versus today, vintage cover showcases, and festivities at ADHA26 in Fort Worth. Believe it or not, some topics from that first 1926 issue are still conversations we're having a century later. In Cathy's recent editorial "The Power of Us," she challenges dental hygienists to recognize the influence they hold in every patient interaction – and makes the case for why peer-reviewed research remains essential for advancing scope of practice.
