About the International Federation of Dental Hygienists (IFDH)
The International Federation of Dental Hygienists was officially formed on June 28, 1986 in Oslo, Norway. The forerunner of the IFDH, The International Liaison Committee on Dental Hygiene, was established in 1973, by some European countries (including the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK), the USA, Canada and Japan.

The IFDH is an international, non-governmental, non-profit organization, free from any political, racial, or religious ties. It unites dental hygiene associations from around the world in their common cause of promoting dental health.

The stated purposes of the federation are to:

* represent and advance the profession of dental hygiene

* promote and coordinate the exchange of knowledge and information about the profession, its education, and its practice
* promote access to quality preventive oral health care services
* increase public awareness that oral disease can be prevented through proven regimen
* provide a forum for the understanding and discussion of issues pertaining to dental hygiene.
