Infection Prevention for Dental Settings
Have you ever been puzzled by the complicated maze of CDC and OSHA guidelines and regulations? Have you wondered if your current infection control program is comprehensive and practical, or if there are gaps that could jeopardize patient safety?
If so, you're not alone. Infection prevention is a challenge that every dental professional faces. Don't fret; the solution is here.
Welcome to Infection Control Training, designed exclusively for dental professionals who prioritize safety and patient well-being.
In today's world, the need for stringent infection prevention practices has never been greater. This course equips you with the knowledge and skills
to protect your patients and team while delivering top-notch dental care.

Who Needs Infection Control Training?
Infection control training is recommended yearly by the CDC for the entire dental team, especially, dental hygienists, assistants, sterilization technicians, and dentists.
It is also strongly encouraged that you have an Infection Control Coordinator trained in infection prevention who will coordinate the program.
While it is essential to comply with legal requirements, the ultimate goal is to prioritize infection control for the safety of patients and staff. Infection control is a crucial aspect of healthcare, particularly in dental offices, where there is a higher risk of spreading infectious diseases. It is crucial for dental professionals to receive proper training on infection prevention to ensure the safety of themselves, their patients, and their colleagues.
This training covers essential topics in dental safety, such as hand hygiene, PPE, sterilization, disinfection, dental unit waterlines, and sharps safety protocols, following current guidance from OSAP, OSHA, and the CDC.

The “Infection Control Training” that I took this year with Kelli through Lane County Dental Society, has been exceptional and the best I have taken. Your thorough explanations regarding topics you are explaining is always informative. The knowledge that you share every year with dental professionals like me, is much appreciated and “a must” in my busy maxillofacial prosthodontics practice for the safety of my patients, staff and myself. I am then able to pass this on to my employees and share all the new updates that I learn from your class every year.
