NO to Dental Assistant Scaling
 

What kind of training are you considering?  How long and what prerequisites do you have in mind?  Given the recent link of oral health to systemic problems, do you want a DA II that has been "trained" in a weekend class or a hygienist that has been "educated" in overall health and that has successfully passed the national and state boards.
