Ginival flaps sutured by LVTs
 

I am in favor of this proposal. LVTs are highly qualified, and will be able to perform this task very well once tought how. Many DVMs are pressed for time, and by allowing LVTs to suture gingival flaps, you are allowing us to help you stay on schedule and not be over burdened. All the LVts at my practice are amazing, and more than competant. We are an assett to you. Use us!

This is coming from an LVT who is not at all dissatisfied in her job. I love what I do, but who doesn't want to be able to learn something new to add to their skill set?
