Infection control, safety, and proper management of hazardous materials in dentistry are some of the most important aspects to know within the healthcare industry. There is an increasing demand by our society to document all actions in healthcare and a variety of other areas. News media and the availability of articles on the web have made dental patients more and more aware of microorganisms, disease occurrence and prevention.
The DentalOp’s 8-Hour Infection Control course will give students the confidence to care for patient’s health and answering any of their questions.
At The Dental Op, our 8-Hour Dental Infection Control course is a California Dental Board Approved course that will fulfil the requirements for an unlicensed dental assistant and requirements for your RDA (Registered Dental Assistant) application.
