RDH means you are registered as a licensed hygienist. That you went to an accredited school and sat for the national boards examination and passed, sat for the clinical exam for your state and passed. Some states (Alabama) does not require a hygienist to be licensed and registered to practice in their state. (so don't get your teeth cleaned in Alabama unless you check for their lic.) I means that they are educated tested and prepared to handle emergencies and to provide quality oral health care for patients.
