Sample Text
Hello, my name is ______ and I am a Registered Dental Hygienist, living in _______. I am
calling (writing) today to ask Senator/Representative _______ to support
legislation to establish the Advanced Dental Hygiene Practitioner. The ADHP will
add a new member to the dental team to deliver care to the underserved in
Connecticut. Currently, too many are without access to dental services necessary
to maintain optimal oral health, which is an integral component of total health.
Please support the Advanced Dental Hygiene Practitioner. This
proposal will make it possible for thousands of underserved patients to receive
dental care who cannot obtain it today. *Always end with, "Can I expect your support as we'd like
to know who is supportive."*
