No to Scaling by DA II
 

There is uncovering link between systemic health and Periodontal Disease. It is imperative that we care for our patients in much more seriuos way.It will be very hard to track ,how and when the healthy condition leads to Gingivitis or Periodontal disease . DHs work really hard to maintain the health of patient and are the only one qualified for treating patients. I STRONGLY oppose to delegating the DAs to do scaling.
