- DAII Regulations went into effect on March 2, 2011 and allow a dentist to utilize up to a total of four dental hygienists or dental assistants II in any combination practicing under direction at one and the same time! Under the definition of “General Supervision”, the current regulations also read- “a dentist completes a periodic comprehensive examination of the patient and issues a written order for hygiene treatment that states the specific services to be provided by a dental hygienist during one or more subsequent appointments when the dentist may or may not be present.” Under duties delegated to a dental hygienist under general supervision it still states that the services noted on the written order shall be rendered within a specific time period, not to exceed 10 months from the date the dentist last examined the patient.

The Student Chapter of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (Lord Fairfax Dental Hygiene class of 2014) would like to thank you for your contributions to our recent wellness fair. It was a success that we will always be grateful for. We just wanted you to be aware of how your donation helped, and how it was used.
As a class we set up a table at the college wellness fair. Three tri-fold boards were displayed for passing students and visitors. Our first board, titled Nutrition, displayed several sodas and juices, with a display of sugar in each of the drinks. We also placed an acid exposure chart on this board with the effects of drinks and some foods on the oral pH. Our second board labeled Oral Hygiene, explained how to floss, brush, and rinse. Lastly, the third board titled Oral Cancer displayed photos of oral cancers, as well as risk factors, symptoms, prevalence, and survival rates. This poster received a lot of attention and inquiries from the wellness fair participants. We used this board as a segway into the next part of the program plan. Forty dollars was used for making these displays.
As students and visitors asked about the oral cancer display, we explained that they could get a free oral cancer screening from a student in the college dental clinic. Ninety-one dollars was spent on supplies from Smart Practice for such items as masks, gloves, tongue depressors, and barriers. We had volunteers for screenings, and afterwards provided them with a post-test survey. Thirty-two dollars was spent at Staples printing this survey as well as other pamphlets and paperwork for the wellness fair.
Our surveys confirmed that prior to the screening many people were not aware of the risk factors of oral cancer, as well as the prevalence. Participants shared that most feel more comfortable now looking for warning signs, and sharing with others what they have learned. Overall, the day was very successful. Just getting the idea of oral cancer out there with college aged students is very important, and we believe we accomplished our goal. Below are a few pictures from the event. Again, thank you so much for your support and contribution.
