DA Certification
 

A agree, however, instituting this for all the many assistants that have OJT would have to be advised to this. How would this be implemented? The schools (DA assisting, proprietary, and community college) would need to offer these certifications. The DDS would need to ensure that their staff was properly certified. I feel that hygienists have had many, many courses and yearly OSHA (BBP) updates yearly. Thank you
