Infection Control Webinar Series: Best Practices for Post-Exposure Protocol in the Dental Office

Infection Control Webinar Series: Best Practices for Post-Exposure Protocol in the Dental Office
Presented by Alyssa Aberle, MBA, RDH, CDIPC

Having an exposure in the dental office can cause a lot of worry and fear. Being prepared for these situations is the key. In this course, we’ll turn potentially serious situations into opportunities for confident and informed action in the dental office. This course will educate team members about exposure risks in the dental office, prepare team members to communicate with patients about these risks, and equip them to communicate with the occupational health clinic about their care.

Objectives:

• Discuss common exposures in the dental office and associated risks
• Assist the dental team in preparation of a “Grab & Go” packet for post-exposure protocols
• Equip the dental team with resources and tools to effectively communicate with patients about exposure incidents and their role in preventing disease transmission
• Provide dental team members with information to appropriately discuss their care plan with an occupational health provider

Please note: This course is not intended to meet the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens annual training requirement as outlined in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard.  This course is intended to be a “closer look” at a specific infection control-related topic to supplement the annual OSHA training required for all employees in your practice.
