Guest: Dr. Karson Carpenter Release Date: 8/7/23 |
Staying compliant with Infection Control protocol is of utmost importance to the health and safety of our patients. And we all know that every office should have stringent IC protocol in place per CDC guidelines. But in addition to the risk to the patient, the practice itself is also at risk by not being fully compliant. Our guest is Dr. Karson Carpenter, dentist and CEO of Compliance Training Partners. He will tell us about a situation where a disgruntled employee reported an office to the state board and how best to avoid and handle this situation.

Guest: Ms. Adrienne Frachtman Release Date: 6/7/23 |
Thanks for joining us. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. In the US, in 2022, there were about 11,000 dental school applicants and of those, 6,300 enrolled as a freshman dental student. So essentially, last year, 57% of applicants ended up going to a US dental school. For most of them, their path was pretty predictable... finish college and go straight to dental school. But for some, their decision to apply to dental school happened years later... and only after realizing that their current career, completely different from dentistry, was not what they wanted to do for the rest of their working life. Today we'll be talking to one such dental school applicant hoping to start in 2024. Her name is Adrienne Frachtman, a young lady who already has a career in the health science field and is determined to pursue her dream of becoming a dentist. And I might add that of the more than 450 episodes that we've produced on this show since 2018,, this will be the first time we've talked with a dental school applicant.

Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Dental professionals have faced challenges in obtaining PPE during the pandemic.

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.

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.
