$35 additional registration fee required for official certificate.

Today it is our legal and ethical responsibility, as licensed dental healthcare providers, to follow OSHA regulations as well as the most current guidelines in infection control as published by the CDC for dental healthcare facilities.

Most State Boards of Dentistry, including NY, have taken on these current CDC guidelines “by reference,” as a matter of law.

This being the case, our objective in the time provided will be to bring you up to date and highlight some of the issues that are new to the current guidelines not previously addressed by the CDC. These areas will include aspects of instrument reprocessing, hand hygiene (including nails and jewelry), Post Exposure protocols, engineered sharps / safety devices, dental unit waterlines and even some new Hep B recommendations.

This course satisfies the NYS mandated infection control requirement for 4 more years. (Provider #IC008)

Recommended for….Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants.
