Brought to my attention via Help_desk. Fails WP:NORG: the only third-party mentions I found online are passing mentions, usually a journalist getting the ADHA to give its opinion for a dentist-focused story. Note that this book with a promising title (given in the "further reading" section) has the ADHA as its publisher, hence it is WP:SPS. Tigraan Click here to contact me 10:55, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment. Normally I would think that a national professional association in the U.S. would be notable enough to satisfy WP:ORG, but this article is lacking in independent sources. If better sources could be found, I would probably recommend "keep". --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:14, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The organization is discussed to an extent that I would consider SIGCOV in several dental hygiene textbooks, e.g. Dentistry, Dental Practice, and the Community (pp. 9-10), Dental Hygiene: Theory and Practice (p. 9). Not an amazing level of coverage but medical professional organizations such as these do have some inherent notability IMO as they have influence over research and policy at a national level.

 * Weak keep per Spicy. seems like some minimal content can be sourced.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:40, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Hygenists dont get much coverage.  This seems to have sufficient notice. Rathfelder (talk) 22:15, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep- as the org. does have wp:sigcov atleast significant enough to allow this page to be kept.  Dtt1 Talk  14:05, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
