April 4 - 10, 2025 - National Dental Hygienists Week
The Municipality of Trent Hills proclaims April 4 - 10, 2025 as National Dental Hygienists Week
National Dental Hygienists Week™ is celebrated annually April 4-10, highlighting the importance of maintaining good oral health practices while helping Canadians to understand the vital role dental hygienists play in the health care system. This year's theme, "Oral Health for Total Health," reminds us that taking care of our mouth, teeth, and gums positively impacts other aspects of our lives.
The Clock Tower in Campbellford will be lit Purple in recognition of National Dental Hygienists Week. Why purple? The colour purple is associated with dental hygiene and has been the official colour of dental professionals since 1897 when lilac was first chosen for the emblem of the National Association of Dental Faculties. Purple has long been the trim colour for dental hygiene graduates' caps and gowns and is said to signify compassion, purpose, and inspiration.
