New! Neutral Language Guides for Dental Hygienists

Language has the power to create a more inclusive, respectful, and welcoming space for everyone. To avoid making assumptions about a person’s gender, download and share our new Pronoun Usage Guide (English) or our Guide de langage neutre (français) and engage your team in conversations to respect individual identities in your work setting. Words matter!
