Hand hygiene is crucial for preventing the spread of infections in dental practices, as bacteria can survive on surfaces for extended periods.
Educating all team members, including office staff, about infection prevention plays a significant role in halting the transmission of infections.
Regular cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces, especially in reception and waiting areas, are imperative to prevent contamination.
Selecting EPA-registered surface disinfectants designed for healthcare facilities and ensuring compliant use are essential steps in maintaining a safe dental practice environment.
