Dental assistant 11
 

No, to dental assistants scaling.

There is not much else to say that has not already been mentioned in regards to assistants scaling. I believe we are all very concerned about the patients quality of care that would be compromised if assistants were allowed to scale perio 1 type patients.

 I have been a hygienist for 22 years and I am very proud of what I do, and how I got to this point in my career. I think anyone who would like to enter this profession should do so by going to a school for dental hygiene.
