The Dental Hygiene Committee of California

The Dental Hygiene Committee of California (DHCC) became a reality on July 1, 2009. The DHCC is the first of its kind in the United States enabling dental hygienists on California to be completely self-regulated.The DHCC consists of nine-members appointed by the Governor; four public members, one practicing dentist and four dental hygienists. The responsibilities of DHCC include issuing, reviewing, and revoking licenses as well as developing and administering examinations. Additional functions include adopting regulations, determining fees and continuing education requirements for all hygiene licensure categories.

Lori Hubble is the first Executive Officer of the newly created Dental Hygiene Committee of California (DHCC). Lori has worked for both the Dental Board of California and the Committee on Dental Auxiliaries for the past twenty three years.
