NO to DA training, let the DH do what they do; DDS's are looking for decreased costs...
 

I am looking for quality, that a DA won't EVER do like a DH.  As a concerned patient, hearing this from my DH, I will do whatever it takes to stop the dentists from making more money by training their own; there are more hygenists that know what they are doing...I don't want a dentist picker-upper and instrument cleaner touching the inside of my mouth.  Do you want your housekeeper making your meals....gross!  Vote NO!!
