Who We Are
Tri-State Dental Hygienists’ Association
Established 1998
The Tri-State Dental Hygienists’ Association is the only incorporated component within the state of West Virginia. TSDHA is named Tri-State due to the geographic location in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia which closely borders Ohio and Pennsylvania. We draw members from all three states.
This is a small but mighty component. This association is involved in community service projects, partners with West Liberty University SADHA students for functions, offers 1-2 continuing education courses per year and offers scholarships to both West Liberty University undergraduate and graduate students.
