Hello! Hmm, not a lot of chatter on this site ~ but that's okay.
However, I do hope to fluff up a bit of critical information about
practicing with an LAP because:

I am seriously considering obtaining an LAP.

Important questions:

* Can you administer local anesthesia?
* What are the requirements for a pt to have exams w/dentist if they
are to receive ongoing RDH care?
* How have you LAP Rdh's gone about receiving money for fee for
service / insurance pts?

Thanks in advance for sharing your answers and stories!
