NO to DA II scaling
 

I am very much against allowing a DA II to scale/clean my teeth.  As a concerned dental patient and the parent of a licensed Dental Hygenist in VA, I know how very hard and long my daughter studied for her license.  Allowing a DA II to perform the same procedures is a "slap in the face" to the profession.  Please reconsider this important decision you are making!!!!
