In celebration of National Children's Dental Health Month, we are shining a light on the remarkable work of two hygienists improving the oral health of children in their communities. Dr. Yvette Reibel, RDH, EdD, MSDH and Dr. Stacey Onofrietti, RDH, MS, PhD, CHP, FADHA share the impact that the Mars Wrigley Foundation's Healthier Smiles Grant from the ADHA Institute for Oral Health has had on their initiatives. They share their passion for serving the community, especially children, and recount their professional oral health journeys. February is also Black History Month and Matt shares the origins of this celebration and this year's theme. Matt also brings you up to speed on important ADHA updates including anticipation for ADHA 2024 in New Orleans for which registration has opened.
