Student American Dental Hygiene Association

Growing the Next Generation of Dental Hygienists

The Student American Dental Hygiene Association (SADHA) at NAU is a community of dental hygiene students committed to learning, serving, and growing together.

Our organization focuses on giving back through community volunteering while also creating a strong support system within our program. We connect junior and senior students through mentorship, collaboration, and shared experiences, because succeeding in this field takes both knowledge and community.

At SADHA, we’re not just preparing for a career—we’re preparing to make a difference in people’s health and well-being.

Taking the Next Step in Our Professional Journey

We are working toward becoming an official student chapter of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA), a nationally recognized professional organization in our field.

This step is a big one for us. Becoming a student chapter means we can:

  • Connect and network with professionals in the dental hygiene field
  • Access scholarships that support our academic journey
  • Prepare for the National Board Dental Hygiene Examination (NBDHE) with trusted resources
  • Advocate for the advancement of dental hygiene as a profession
  • Engage with a larger professional community while still in school

We are asking for your support to help make this possible. Any contribution, big or small, helps us take this important step forward.

What Your Support Makes Possible

Your generosity helps us grow beyond the classroom and step into the professional world with confidence.

With your support, we’re able to:

  • Build meaningful connections within our field
  • Access the tools we need to succeed academically and professionally
  • Represent NAU as future leaders in dental hygiene
  • Continue serving and educating our community

You’re not just supporting students, you’re investing in the future of healthcare and community wellness.
