Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Dental professionals have faced challenges in obtaining PPE during the pandemic. In some cases, due to perceived shortages and increasing PPE costs, dental practices resorting to unfamiliar suppliers may buy PPE that is not NIOSH certified or FDA cleared for use in healthcare settings, putting both the dental teams and patients at risk. Today we'll be discussing the agencies that test and approve PPE for use in these settings, how to access proper resources to ensure a dental practice is using approved PPE, and what criteria to follow when making product selections for PPE.

Episode 367: Common Sense Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Sanitizing: Are You Doing Things Right in Your Practice?
|
Supporter: Viva Learning Originals
CE Credits: 0.5
Guest: Ms. Shannon Pace Brinker, CDA Release Date: 2/7/22 |
Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. While many use the words cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing interchangeably – they're not quite the same. For instance, cleaning removes visible dirt, soil, and debris but does not disinfect. Disinfecting eliminates bacteria, fungi, and certain viruses but disinfecting does not clean or remove dirt. And finally, Sanitizing reduces the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a safe level but does not fully eliminate them. Today we'll be discussing these areas and how we use common sense knowledge to make wise decisions to protect ourselves, our team, and our practice. Our guest, Shannon Pace Brinker, is an International Speaker, Author and Dental Assistant for over 32 years.
