As a dentist, we cannot have dental assistants perform scaling on patients. They lack the experience and training that demands to perform this specific duty. Dental hygenist specifically have the expertise to perform the scalings. VIRGINIA needs to make the CORRECT decision. Scaling is a duty performed by dental HYGENISTs.
