Opposition to DAII
 

Hello,

My name is Ashley Houser. I am strongly against the expansion of DAII. Being a dental hygiene student I am learning the fundamentals of supra- gingival scaling & dental assistants are not trained in this category. Allowing dental hygienists to perform such activities is degrading to the skills of dental hygienists. Thanks for your time and consideration to this matter!
