Kudos to Burt Edelstein and Kellogg for strong support of Dental Health Aide Therapists, who not only benefit the public but also enhance dentists.

In addition to providing much needed oral health care to under-served populations, “…implementation of dental therapists and dental hygiene-therapists in the U.S. can further advance the dentist as the most sophisticated and expert member of the dental team and as a more central member of the larger healthcare system.”
