Important News

Watch our newest public service announcement regarding the Public Health Dental Hygienist!

Watch the following video regarding the dental assistant coronal scaling addition to the IL Dental Practice Act. Note that starting January 2023, Dental Assistants (DAs) must have a 32-hour Coronal Scaling certification to perform coronal scaling on children. DAs with a 16-hour scaling certificate were NOT "grandfathered in" and may NOT continue providing coronal scaling until they complete the requirements for the new certification.
