QUESTION: Can hygienists do calcium therapy?
ANSWER: Sure, they are completely certified to use the Calcium Therapy methods. Hygienists can give local dental anesthesia and scale teeth which are far more risky. The problem is most often they cannot practice unless with a dentist present. In Colorado they can practice alone but are so controlled by dentists they seem afraid to use the most helpful protocol ever designed for them. Calcium Therapy would make their practice easier, safer, faster, more economical and successful for everyone.
