I like infection control and I want to know more and be able to do more. I get information from different sources that contradict each other. I want to be confident in my knowledge of what is right.
The Infection Control Educational Program for Everyone in Dentistry
Making dental visits safe is a team responsibility. Every member of the dental practice—whether dental assistants, hygienists, practice managers, or dentists—plays an important role, as do educators, consultants, and sales representatives who provide infection control products and services.
To support the safety of both patients and providers, the Dental Infection Prevention and Control Certificate was created. This foundational educational program is built on federal standards and evidence-based guidelines, developed and reviewed by leading experts in dental infection control. You can trust that the information you receive is accurate and thoroughly validated.
