Some U.S. dental schools are offering a new program in dental therapy, which will provide students with the same basic training that fully accredited oral professionals receive, according to HealthDay News.
Practices that utilize dental therapists may be able to provide care to patients at a lower cost and reduce the amount of time that hygienists and doctors spend treating individuals with non-surgical needs, the news source noted.
HealthDay reported that dental therapists can become licensed in Minnesota and Alaska, where they are able to perform cleanings, screenings for oral cancer and cavity-filling procedures.
