Farewell to Filth, Hello to Health: Debunking Old Myths and Facing New Realities in Infection
The healthcare landscape is continuously evolving, with new and emerging pathogens challenging the norms of infection control, especially in the dental industry. This course is designed specifically for dental professionals who strive to provide a safe and healthy environment for their patients and staff. The course aims to equip participants with a thorough understanding of the current infection prevention guidelines. Despite efforts from professional organizations and government entities to disseminate up-to-date guidance on infection control protocols, there are still instances of breaches that not only create an unsafe environment but also put the practice at risk.
