FAQs RDHAP?
What is an RDHAP?
An RDHAP is a licensed dental hygienist with specialized training that allows them to provide dental hygiene services independently in non-traditional settings such as homes, schools, nursing facilities, and other community locations.
How is an RDHAP different from a regular dental hygienist?
While both provide similar preventive dental care services, an RDHAP has additional education and certification to offer services outside of a dental office, focusing on underserved or homebound patients.
Who can benefit from RDHAP services?
RDHAPs serve patients who have difficulty accessing traditional dental offices, such as seniors, people with disabilities, homebound individuals, and those in remote or underserved areas.
Where can an RDHAP provide services?
RDHAPs can provide care in private homes, nursing homes, residential care facilities, schools, workplaces, and rural or underserved areas, making dental care more accessible to patients.
What services can an RDHAP provide?
RDHAPs offer preventive dental care, including teeth cleanings, gum disease prevention, fluoride treatments, oral cancer screenings, dental sealants, and patient education on oral hygiene.
Do RDHAPs need a dentist’s supervision?
No, RDHAPs are allowed to practice independently in the settings they are licensed for, although they must work in collaboration with a dentist to ensure patients receive comprehensive care.
How do I know if I need an RDHAP?
If you or a loved one have difficulty visiting a dental office due to mobility issues, health concerns, or geographical limitations, an RDHAP may be an ideal solution for receiving regular dental care at home or in another convenient location.
How do I schedule an appointment with an RDHAP?

Are RDHAPs qualified to work with special needs patients?
