Dear Legislator, I adamantly oppose these bills that will cause my family potential harm . It is a safety issue. We have spent a fortune on our dental care, We do not want uneducated , unlicensed staff taking X-rays or cleaning our teeth. We love our dental hygienist. We spend more time with her than the dentist or our PCP! She reviews our vitals , medications and looks for cancer as well as thoroughly cleaning our teeth and providing care tips. Proper cleanings prevent gum disease and heart disease which are both present in our family history. Please do not reduce our family’s care. I see this other healthcare professions are facing g the same elimination. One can only speculate to what the goal of your bills if safety is not the main issue ? I vote No.
