I feel it would be a disservice to patients to allow dental assistants to perform dental scaling's. With all the evidence linking oral health to overall health, our patients deserve to have highly trained and educated dental professionals(such as dentists and dental hygienists) caring for their overall health. I feel there is more of an interest to cut costs than provide access to dental care.
