This issue of Inside Dental Hygiene explores the many forces reshaping the hygiene profession, from emerging technologies to evolving scopes of practice. Our cover story features insights from respected clinicians and educators across the country, including several members of our Editorial Advisory Board and the current president of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA). Their voices reflect the expertise, adaptability, and passion that continue to define the profession.

We extend our deep appreciation to our board members—each a standout in their field—for their continued contributions to this publication and to the broader conversation about where dental hygiene is headed next. The ADHA, whose ongoing efforts to elevate the role of the dental hygienist both professionally and legislatively are bearing fruit, is to be commended as well.

As always, Inside Dental Hygiene remains committed to providing practical, timely, and relevant content that supports clinical excellence, career satisfaction, and the overall well-being of hygienists across every stage of their journey. Our digital platform expands this mission further, with new resources, C.E. opportunities, and perspectives posted regularly.

There is much more to come, and we’re honored to be part of your professional path.
