For more than thirty years, the National Dental Hygienists' Association (NDHA) has been committed to the professional development needs of its members. 

The NDHA was established in 1932 by African American Dental Hygienists. Their objective was to address the professional concerns of African American dental hygienists. Through the years, the organization has grown and in 1962 it became an affiliate of the National Dental Association. The goal at the time was to develop a network of communication and camaraderie among its members.

The NDHA offers limited financial support to students of color through its scholarship program. Scholarships are awarded annually. Student memberships are also available for a small membership fee.
