PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

 
 The last several weeks have been very trying on every American. Dental offices are being hit with financial instability especially with the loss of our patients' jobs. We must all join together and be supportive of one another. Please help other hygienists struggling with employment issues. Be aware our organization cannot be maintained without membership. The ADHA has seen a significant drop in membership this past year. GODHA will try to keep monthly costs to a minimum...save the money for your ADHA dues!
 
Elizabeth Kae Sylvia,RDH

DENTAL HYGIENE MONTH EVENT 

 
The Greater Orlando Dental Hygiene Association sponsored an  event for Dental Hygiene Month at the Winter Park Public  Library on Sat ,October 4 th.  President, Kae Sylvia, Vice President Desiree Franklin and Jo-Ann Losito  set up a display of oral health education handouts along with dispensing a toothbrush, toothpaste ,floss and Listerine to the library visitors. Many families stopped by for information and asked many questions. We also handed out  FHDA bookmarks which was quite appropriate  at a library! The patrons and the library staff  were very appreciative of our visit with them. In honor of "Dental Hygiene Month"  the library  had a craft program for the children   where they provided supplies to make  a "Tooth Fairy Box !  "
