I say no to the proposal of allowing DAIIs training to include scaling. I appreciate the events
 

(lack of access) that  caused some in our profession to believe this move would help improve access to care.  I do not believe training dental assistants to be "hygiensts" is the way to go.  Training more RDHs is a better solution.
