Re: Law to allow dental assistants to clean teeth
 

Do I trust someone to clean my family's teeth, evaluate for gum disease, cavities and oral cancer if they have not studied and passed licensing requirements?  HECK NO!!

I can smell greed from miles away, and this just reeks.

Don't allow shortcuts at the expense of quality patient care!
