Let's get straight to the real issue: MONEY!
There is no shortage of dental hygienists, but a severe shortage of dentists willing to pay for professionally trained people to serve the public! This is simply an attempt to reduce the costs of dentists at the expense of hygiensists, when a majority of dentists already earn significantly more than the average worker.
Would you want a Auto receptionist repairing your car? No!
Would you want a nurse operating on your family member? No!
There is a reason that the government established regulations on the training and certification of Dental hygieneists - TO PROTECT YOU, the patient, from detnists that would otherwise put your health at risk for additional profit!
