New concepts in dental hygiene is the topic of a meeting aimed at dental hygienists and therapists throughout the UK.

The 18th International Federation of Dental Hygienists (IFDH) International Symposium on Dental Hygiene (ISDH) is taking place at the Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre (SECC), Glasgow, on 1-3 July 2010.

Held only every three years, this is a major event in the dental calendar.

The ISDH will be organised in partnership with the British Society of Dental Hygiene & Therapy (BSDHT) and will incorporate the Society's annual conference.

The International Symposium on Dental Hygiene is entitled ‘New Concepts for the New Millennium' and will include a full programme of eminent speakers from around the globe, as well as an exhibition and social events.

Organisers say: ‘Definitely an event not to be missed by dental hygienists and therapists, the ISDH should also go in the diary of all those interested in dental hygiene.'

Registration is from 2pm on Thursday 1 July with the welcome address by Marina Harris, BSDHT president, at 4pm.
