Abstract

As the first wave of the COVID-19 global pandemic is behind us, dental practices are now preparing to resume routine dental care. The traditional water cooler chatter may be very different once dental practices reopen as infection control policies and protocols have dramatically changed. This webinar will address some of the most frequently asked questions received by two experts who consult and speak nationally on OSHA regulations and CDC guidelines in dentistry. Participants will more confidently navigate this ever-changing landscape, and ultimately better implement practices in this new era of dental care to ensure the safety of patients and dental team members.
