Capitol Day

Florida Dental Hygienists' Capitol Day
January 29th, 2026

Join the Florida Dental Hygienists’ Association in Tallahassee for Capitol Day 2026, a powerful day of advocacy, connection, and pride in our profession. As we celebrate 100 years of FDHA, this year’s event carries even greater significance. For a century, FDHA has been the unified voice of dental hygienists across Florida, advancing our profession and advocating for access to quality oral health care. Now, as we enter our next century of leadership, we invite YOU to stand with us and make history at the Capitol! Capitol Day brings together dental hygienists and dental hygiene students from across the state to engage with legislators and advocate for policies that strengthen the dental hygiene profession. It’s an opportunity to promote legislative change, foster professional growth, and showcase the vital role dental hygienists play in improving public health. This milestone year is a time to honor our past while shaping our future. Whether you’re a new graduate or a long-time member, your presence matters! Together, we can ensure that the next 100 years of FDHA continue to build on our legacy of leadership, advocacy, and service. Thanks to a generous grant from Floridians for Dental Access, the cost of registration is fully covered, making it easier than ever to participate. Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to celebrate our 100th year, connect with colleagues, and make an impact for the future of dental hygiene in Florida.
