DA Scaling
 

I am opposed against the bill that would allow dental assistance to scale supra gingerly. Allowing dental assistance, this procedure would allow untrained individuals to provide services that are typically delegated to dental hygienist and dentist that have been trained in the necessary, education and knowledge to perform this duty thoroughly. This overall can harm the community instead of closing the gap and care, and would place susceptible individuals at a higher risk of periodontal disease.
