Opposed to Dental Assistants Scaling Perio I
 

I do not support allowing Dental Assistant's to scale Perio Class I patients.   Simply put this is not a plan to increase access to care.  If the intent of the expanded duty Assistant is to relieve the Dentist of duties, the DA II duties should be limited to extended restorative functions.
