Evaluation finds Dental Health Aide Therapists competent, respected 10/26/10 ANCHORAGE, AK (kbc) - An evaluation of the Dental Health Aide Therapist program shows they're compentent at everything from equipment sterilization and clinical techniques to patient communications. Dentists question the quality of care, and the validity of the evaluation. However, the therapists are providing care in rural Alaska, where dentists rarely venture. And patients are proud Alaska Natives are providing the care. © Copyright 2013, kbc
