Award

Invest in the future. Impact thousands.

The Teeth Talk Girl Future Hygienist Award was created to support the next generation of dental hygienists.

Hygiene school is challenging, expensive, and life-changing, and we want students to know they are not going through it alone. Each year, this scholarship recognizes dental hygiene students who show passion for patient care, community impact, and the future of the profession.

Whether your dream is to educate patients, serve your community, become a clinical leader, teach future hygienists, or simply help people feel less afraid of the dental chair, we want to hear your story.
