Infection control in dentistry is a growing concern. The dental environment presents a relative risk of both acquisition and transmission of an infectious disease to the patient. Additional concerns arise from cross-contamination, contaminated water lines, antibiotic resistant bacteria and complex infections. Appropriate antibiotics stewardship is the hallmark for appropriate care for patients. Join us for a discussion of these topics and how to protect your patients appropriately in your practice.
