NO NO NO to Dental assistants scaling
 

I have a family member who is a hygienst. She has to drive an hour to work because she can not get a job in her hometown in VA. There is not a shortage of hygienists here! Aside from that, the quality of the cleaning that people would recieve under these new provisions is deplorable. As a consumer, I strongly oppose allowing denal assistants to scale teeth.
