Return of the World Dental Hygienist Awards

Sunstar, the international oral healthcare company, has announced the return of the World Dental Hygienist Awards (WDHA), after a three-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic. First established in 2007, the WDHA recognises and honours the work and accomplishments of dental hygienists who have made significant contributions to the dental hygiene field.

Wanda Fedora, president of the International Federation of Dental Hygienists said, “IFDH is proud to continue its involvement with Sunstar since the very beginning of this valuable program in 2007. The only global meeting place for dental hygienists – the International Symposium of Dental Hygiene (ISDH) – has provided a unique and appropriate setting for the excitement when these distinguished awards are announced.”

Ahead of the WDHA, which will take place in 2024, a new regional Award of Distinction has been created in partnership with the European Dental Hygienist Federation (EDHF) and supported by the Sunstar Foundation to celebrate the achievements of European dental hygienists. The European Award of Distinction is now open for nominations with Sunstar and the EDHF calling for entries from qualified dental hygienists. Hygienists can either nominate themselves or a colleague as long as they, or the person they are nominating, are officially registered dental hygienists. A similar award program has run in North America, in partnership with RDH Magazine since 2002.
