Balancing Infection Control and Environmental Responsibility
CE Credits: 0.25 CEU Release Date: 7/26/2023
With all the emphasis in the news about climate change and environmental challenges, are there things we can do in our practice to minimize negative impacts on the environment?

With a long-term interest in environmental quality, Mary lectures and consults on how dental practices can be safe in terms of infection control and use of chemicals, but at the same time, reduce their impact on the environment.
