NO TO DA II
 

I oppose and am appauled at the  DA II Bill. As an RDH with educational classes and training in Anatomy & Physiology I & II w/ Cadavers, Microbiology, Chemistry, Nutrition, Oral Anatomy, Oral Pathology, Histology, Pharmacology, Radiology, Chemistry, and Nutrition to name a few as well as having to hold a license, liability insurance, Continuing Educational requirements, certification in Local Anesthesia & Nitrous Sedation, I must ask how this Bill could even be open for debate!! If dentists feel there is a shortage of RDH's, I am amazed with their educational backgrounds that they would even consider lowereing the standard of care to the general public by promoting a DA II. Please say NO to DA II and let's make this a dead issue already:))
