At the UH Mānoa Dental Hygiene Program, students gain the clinical training, cultural awareness, and scientific foundation needed to promote oral health throughout Hawaiʻi. As the only bachelor’s‑level dental hygiene program in the state, we play a vital role in preparing highly skilled professionals who serve in clinics, schools, and communities across the islands. Your support enhances student learning, strengthens faculty excellence, and ensures access to high‑quality oral health education rooted in Hawaiʻi’s values of care and community. Together, we can brighten smiles and build healthier futures statewide.
This year, we are focusing on a few priorities directly supporting innovative teaching, student success, and excellent dental hygiene care here in our islands.
