In 2008, the ADHA Board of Trustees approved the current Standards for Clinical Dental Hygiene Prac-tice. In her annual report, then President Jean Connor, RDH, wrote, “These standards re À ect the dental hygiene process of care and will be instrumental in assisting clinicians in their daily delivery of patient care and educating the public, other care providers and policy makers on dental hygiene practice.” Links to the standards document appear throughout this article on professional tooth whitening and are expanded on the opposite page. The Standards are intentionally general so that they apply to all aspects of clinical dental hygiene care. If you have comments about or additions to the links made in this article, please write and let us know. ADHA intends for the Standards to be a living document, and we welcome your participation in the process.
