Connecting Communities to Care
Empowering Dental Hygiene Access
At RDHAP Connect, we bridge the gap between patients and dental hygiene care providers, ensuring everyone has access to essential oral health services in their community. Our mission is to make dental care accessible, regardless of location or circumstance.

Accessible Dental Care, Wherever It’s Needed
Everyone deserves quality dental care — and location should never be a barrier. As Registered Dental Hygienists in Alternative Practice (RDHAPs), we are licensed to provide professional dental hygiene services without the supervision of a dentist. That means we bring essential dental care directly to those who can’t easily access traditional dental offices.
Whether it’s at home, bedside, school, or a dedicated RDHAP practice, we offer safe, thorough, and personalized care for underserved communities across California. We’re the mid-level dental care providers closing the gap in oral health access.
Who Benefits from RDHAP Services?
RDHAPs serve patients with unique needs, including those who:
- Have illnesses or disabilities that make dental office visits difficult or impossible
- Are homebound due to physical or mental conditions
- Live in residential care facilities
- Attend qualifying schools
- Reside in underserved areas with limited access to dental providers
We're Here To Help
This platform was created by two dedicated RDHAPs who recognized the need for reliable, accessible dental hygiene for patients with special health care needs. We help family members and caregivers connect with RDHAPs who are ready to provide care where it’s needed most.
