Just 4 months away from our biggest event of the year. We are so excited to see you all at our Annual Scientific Session in Sunday, November 8, 2026. But until then, continuing our mini series:

✨Meet your HDHA Vice President, Kris Agustin, RDH, BSDH!✨

Howzit! I took a non-traditional path into dental hygiene. I was a teen mom, earned an Associate Degree in Dental Assisting from Heald College, spent nine years as a dental assistant, and later earned my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

Today, I enjoy serving the profession through volunteer leadership and working alongside colleagues who are committed to supporting dental hygienists throughout Hawaiʻi. Being involved with our association has allowed me to build meaningful professional relationships and contribute to initiatives that benefit our members and our profession.

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my two dogs, Bamboo and Hazelnut, gardening, and tackling the occasional DIY project.

Mahalo for the opportunity to serve and be part of such a dedicated professional community.

✨Meet Your HDHA Public Relations Chair and Media Editor: Sara Zeidenberg, RDH, BSDH!✨

As HDHA Media Editor, I help create branded graphics for the HDHA website, email marketing and other design materials. I’m a hygienist on the island of Hawai’i and have lived in Kailua-Kona for 5 years. I love using visuals to show patients that maintaining a healthy mouth positively affects their whole body. When I’m not working, I love to garden and travel with my family as well as design elaborate arts and crafts projects with my 4 year old son.

Happy Monday! Let’s start the week with a spotlight another volunteer leader who has been an incredible asset to our ass...
