Sigma Phi Alpha is the nation’s dental hygiene honor society

Elevating leaders and scholars in dental hygiene

Recognizing excellence in dental hygiene

Professionals in dental hygiene know that their service represents more than routine teeth cleanings — it requires compassionate, holistic care for people. As experts and educators in oral health, dental hygienists provide essential, preventative care while building meaningful relationships with their patients.

Understanding the immense value of dental hygiene, Sigma Phi Alpha Dental Hygiene Honor Society recognizes top-tier students and educators for outstanding achievements in scholarship, service and leadership. For decades, members of Sigma Phi Alpha have played a key role in the advancement of dental hygiene through selfless ambition and unparalleled dedication to the profession.

Sigma Phi Alpha supports and strengthens a community of dental hygiene leaders in its unwavering commitment to excellence and to the well-being of others.
