Milwaukee-based Dental Associates has invested in new infection control devices, including two devices that stop saliva spray and help lower virus exposure risk, according to NBC affiliate WTMJ-TV.
Dental Associates and its 14 Southeast Wisconsin dental offices now own Zirc Dental Products' Mr. Thirsty and Kulver's Ivory ReLeaf. Both devices suck in saliva particles before they go into the air.
Amanda Belcher, a dental hygienist at Franklin, Wis.-based Dental Associates, said she feels safe and the devices protect both staff and patients.
