8-Hour Infection Control

Infection control, safety, and proper management of hazardous materials in dentistry are some of the most important aspects to know within the healthcare industry.  In fact, there is an increasing demand, by our society, to document all actions in healthcare and a variety of other areas.  Furthermore, news media and the Internet have made dental patients more and more aware of microorganisms, disease occurrence and prevention.  OC Dental Academy’s 8-Hour Infection Control course will give students the confidence to care for patient’s health and answering any of their questions.
