Anchorage, AK – A report on Dental Health Aide Therapists around the world states they provide quality, effective, safe, and economical care. Therapists operate in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and in Asia. However, the American Dental Association says the study is not scientific. It opposes extension of the program beyond the two states that allow therapists: Alaska and Minnesota due to safety concerns. A practitioner says fears are unfounded.
