NO to DA scaling
 

I cannot believe that ths is being brought up again!  I cannot believe the dental community would want their patients being subject to this type of care.  We all know the DDS DOES NOT see the patient first.  So how would they Diagnose treatment of periodontal care.  They wont.  The patients will be the one who suffer and the dentists will be the one who will profit from this. 

I urge the members of the board to look at this from a moral and ethical point and not from the view point of a few dentist who are in shortage of a hygienist.

 

thank you,

M. Suzie Buss, BS, RDH
