What an absolute disgrace to the dental profession, and to the safety and wellbeing of the residents of Virginia who will now be receiving poor quality care, and risking their health and safety. Allowing assistants to perform a job they were trained to do by a dentist, who also has no training in performing the duties of a dental hygienist, will have detrimental repercussions to the oral health of the community. But hey, who cares as long as you all get to line your pockets a little more.
