“How do you provide for safe patient care and adhere to your state dental practice act, to OSHA, to all of the guidelines and the recommendations from CDC?”
“We have developed systems that can ensure that both critical and semi-critical instruments are properly cleaned, packaged and sterilized, and then delivered safe for each patient appointment.”
“Not as much attention has been paid to diseases that can be transmitted in saliva.”
“I do my famous ‘glow germ’ demonstration…that’s when I get that light bulb moment.”
