As the landscape of oral and systemic healthcare continues to evolve, so too must the role of dental hygienists. Hygienists are dedicated professionals who hold the knowledge and expertise necessary to bridge the gap between dental care and broader health practices. Yet realizing this full potential requires a concerted effort toward legislative reforms, educational advancements, and a shift in public perception. In this issue, our cover story highlights the critical importance of empowering dental hygienists to practice independently and to the fullest extent of their training.
