Commenter: Very Concerned DH Student

NO! Scaling should NOT be included in DA training.
 

I do not agree with having DA provide scaling under any supervision. My concern is the amount of training DA is actually getting as compared to RDH. Please dont lower the standard of care for our patients, they deserve the best care!! Dental hygienist are properly TRAINED for this. We work hard for to be able to provide the level of care out patients deserve. Let us do our job!
