🚨 ACTION ALERT: Contact Your Pennsylvania Legislators Today 🚨

HB 1127, the Dentist and Dental Hygienist Compact (DDH Compact), is currently under consideration in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

While licensure portability is an important goal, the amendments currently proposed to HB 1127 raise significant concerns for the dental hygiene profession in Pennsylvania. As written, these proposed amendments, if passed, would prevent Pennsylvania from being able to join the other states who have already passed this compact legislation.

📢 We need dental hygienists, students, educators, and supporters across Pennsylvania to urge their legislators to vote HB 1127 through WITHOUT the proposed amendments.

Taking action is easy and takes less than one minute using ADHA's VoterVoice campaign:

For more information about HB 1127:

Your voice can make a difference. Contact your legislators today and help ensure any compact legislation reflects the best interests of Pennsylvania dental hygienists and the patients we serve.

🎥 Proud to see PDHA President & PA Coalition for Oral Health Board Member, Kim Bury bringing a thoughtful, informed voice to the important conversation around community water fluoridation in WGAL's recent news segment.

As communities across the country examine public health policies and their impact on residents, Kim helped highlight the importance of relying on credible science, open dialogue, and informed decision-making. Her leadership continues to ensure that oral health remains part of the broader public health conversation, emphasizing both the benefits of prevention and the need for communities to stay informed.

Thank you, Kim, for representing our profession and advocating for evidence-based approaches that help improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve. 👏💧🦷

WGAL 8 In Focus examined the long-running debate over fluoride in public water systems, a practice used in the U.S. since 1945.
