Episode 284: Hand Hygiene Update for the Dental Setting
Infection Control
Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. A key principle of infection control is to take action to stay healthy! One of the simplest action items--Hand Hygiene--is one of the most basic yet misunderstood methods to prevent the spread of microbes and prevent healthcare acquired infections. Today we'll be discussing the importance of hand hygiene compliance in the dental clinic. Our guest is Dr. Marie Fluent, a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. Her dental career spans 35 years and includes almost every role in the dental office. Dr. Fluent is passionate about infection control and safety in the dental setting.
