The COVID-19 global pandemic effects all of us both personally and professionally, including the dental team and the Dental Hygiene profession.
In these extraoradinary circumstances and because the situation differs from country to country, IFDH advises you to follow the recommendations of the World Health Organization, your national governements, your national Dental and Dental Hygiene organizations and the advice of experts.
Patient safety and staff health and welfare must be our number one concern.

NEWS FROM EDHF & PIERRE FABRE
On 23 September 2019 a unique new e-learning platform is launched for continuing education for Dental Hygienists.
The purpose of the initiative is to meet the needs of continuous training that exists in this group.
The Oral Health Professional Training platform aims to strengthen the preventive role of the dental hygienist in the work of maintaining good oral health. The training will increase the opportunity for the dental hygienist to move and have an exchange within Europe. It will also generally increase awareness and knowledge of the importance of good oral health in the population.
