General Supervision for Mississippi Dental Hygienists

From what iv experienced at the dentist office Dentist are already working like this, So it SHOULD be the Law and legal for hygienist

Very excited about this

Anything that improves flow and accessibility in the dental office is a good thing. Allowing general supervision could greatly improve scheduling, management, and care for our Patients.

General Supervision is needed in our state.

I am in full support of this bill

This would be very beneficial for the patient and the Dentist, allowing for a higher patient flow which icreases the likelihood of efficient preventative care. However, I would suspect the experience level of a Dental Hygienist would play a role in the opportunity for General Supervision. Thank you for your time

I helped establish general supervision for hygienist while on the board of trustees for the Tennessee Dental Asso. Tried to give Miss board the exact wording we had. Tried to explain that the next time they were out for surgery the office could still run. Hardheads wouldn’t listen Thanks Thanks

I’m 100% for general supervision

It is time for general supervision for Mississippi. This will be of value for dentist and patients.

Hope this passes.. LONG OVERDUE. As this would be an ELECTIVE OPTION for private practices, DDS & DMD can CHOSE to utilize or not.

We are professionals with high standards and degrees with licensees. We will honor moral code and those standards under general supervision for our patients

Let’s move forward! Please pass general supervision for Hygienists!

I came here from Louisiana. Mississippi is way behind the rest of the nation. General supervision is a great thing for dentists and hygienists. I would rather see local anesthesia, but this is all a step in the right direction!

General supervision over direct supervision!

Past time for this to be passed!

Come on Mississippi, get with it!! Pass it already!! Vote yes!

This is a valuable necessity and should be approved instantly. Was able to use this in La and was absolutely worth it. I cannot believe people are against it. They obviously never had used it and should have experience before voicing opinion. We are the one of the last state who already hasn’t approved it.

We need to be able to give anesthesia too!

I am for it but the Dentist will not allow it. They see a money factor here!

Help us improve access to care for under served populations in Mississippi!
