The CDC recently released a free online training resource on infection prevention and control for dental practices.
The free training, titled "Foundations: Building the Safest Dental Visit," is designed for dental healthcare personnel, infection prevention coordinators, educators, students, consultants and other members of the public. It was created in partnership with the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention, a nonprofit membership organization for oral healthcare professionals. The nonprofit is providing three hours of continuing education credit for completing the training.
The course features three modules covering existing guidelines, protection methods, and sterilization and disinfection practices.
