only hygienist should scale!
 

This is very scary!!! I did not realize that as a Dental consumer that I needed to ask for a license before I got my teeth cleaned. I pay for a service & I expect to receive it from a Licensed Dental Hygienist!!! I strongly oppose any dental assistant scaling myself or anyone in my family!!!!!!!!!!!
