HAND HYGIENE
Hand Hygiene is part of standard precautions and the first and best defence against infections.
Hand washing, disinfection, and
moisturizing throughout the day and between patient visits help to prevent the spread of disease.

Images from WHO,
Clean Care is Safe Care CLEAN SURFACES
Potential infection is everywhere in the dental office, that is filled with surfaces that can be easily contaminated throughout the day, such as
light switches, handles, countertops, chairs, and
doorknobs. These surfaces must be
cleaned and disinfected or covered with barriers that are changed between patients.

PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
It’s important that both patients and staff have no exposure or contact with diseases during treatment.
Personal protective equipment (PPE), such as
gloves, clothing, and face and
eye protection, helps prevent cross contamination or injuries from spray, splatter, and small particles. The PPE must be changed between each patient.
WATER QUALITY
Water is a key element in dental treatment.
Cleaning the waterlines is a critical step to ensure the quality meets the high standards the
Environment Protection Agency (EPA) has set for acceptable drinking water.
