Six dental nurses, each working in a team with two dental assistants, will perform the routine dental treatment procedures that will constitute the major part of the work of the program, which is being introduced in all Interlake school divisions, two divisions in the Parklands region, and the city of Flin Flon. All their work will be done under the general supervision of dentists.
