Dental assistant
 

I think this is absurd!! I go to the dentist to have my teeth checked by someone that has the training and licence to do the job correctly, NOT by someone that can leave another job lets say Walmart , McDonalds ect. and get a job as an assistant with informal on the job training to clean my teeth. I might as well buy the tools and do it myself at home.

 What happens when the assistant screws up and has a lawsuit angainst them ??

I THINK THIS IS VERY STUPID IDEA!!!!!!!
