Printable list of infection control do's and don'ts for the dental practice

In March of this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a Summary of Infection Prevention Practices in the Dental Setting which is a synopsis of the recommendations made in their more extensive document, Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care Settings-2003.

There is nothing in the summary which is new, it is just a shortened document which condenses the material in the 2003 document. Still, it’s a 44-page summary and takes some time to sift through. Every dental health care professional should be aware of all these recommendations, but for those who need a refresher here is a handy checklist of DOs and DON’Ts.
