I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT A VOTE WOULD PASS ALLOWING DENTAL ASSISTANTS TO SCALE TEETH. THE QUALITY OF SO MANY STANDARDS IN AMERICA ARE SUFFERING. I WOULD REFUSE TO ALLOW ANYONE WITHOUT THE PROPER TRAINING TO SCALE AND CLEAN MY TEETH AND I WOULD CERTAINLY HOPE ALL PROFESSIONALS WOULD AGREE. IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT THE ONLY REASON THAT THIS WOULD BE ALLOWED IS SO THAT DENTAL PRACTICES WOULD BENEFIT FINANCIALLY!!!
