Dental Assistant should not be premitted to scale above and below the gumline
 

I would be very uncomfortable with a non lincensed professinal doing this type of procedure.  This is NOT a good idea at all!  If my current dentist would allow this happen I would switch to a doctor that actually valued my health.
