Effective Hand Hygiene: The Cornerstone of Infection Prevention
April 23 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT
Infection prevention in your dental practice begins with effective hand hygiene. The dental team may believe that wearing gloves reduces the need for effective hand hygiene – they cut corners, and it lowers compliance.
Dental practices cannot afford to cut corners when it means safety for your team and patients. By implementing effective hand hygiene, the dental practice can reduce the possibility of cross contamination and help to ensure safety for patients and staff.
