I know that the dental hygienist who cares for my dental health has a degree in Science of Dental Hygiene and the care I currently receive goes beyond just scaping tarter from my teeth.  I am currently getting  a professioal cleaning that includes my well being!  This type of care comes from a college educated professional.  Please consider the quality of education required from your dental health care provider and say not to Dental Technicians scaling teeth!
