Hygienists recognised in global award

Sunstar Oral Health, in partnership with the International Federation of Dental Hygienists (IFDH), has announced the winners of the World Dental Hygienist Awards.

The awards, supported by the Sunstar Foundation, celebrate and recognise the achievements of dental hygienists worldwide. They were originally established in 2007.

The 2024 winners are:

Mayumi Kaneda, director of the Sunstar Foundation, “First of all, we want to congratulate all the winners! We are extremely proud to see your work and impressive contributions to the profession. We look forward to celebrating together at the International Symposium of Dental Hygiene in Seoul.”

The selection of winners consisted of two parts. All nominations were judged by an international committee of independent dental hygienists which accounted for 50 per cent of the total score. The other half was taken from ‘likes’ accumulated on the one-minute videos submitted by the winners and published on the Sunstar Oral Health YouTube channel.
