Dental practices across the nation are responsible for providing patients and employees with critically high levels of safety, cleanliness, and regulatory compliance – all of which involve proper infection control practices.
In order to provide these, dental offices are required to comply with ever-evolving regulations set by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Maryland State Board of Dental Examiners (MSBDE), and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). The burden to follow regulatory updates, produce and update infection control manuals, and enforce the use of best practices falls onto dental clinicians. This is a daunting task to add onto an already overwhelmed clinician.
While most offices believe they are 100% compliant, that is often not the case. Additionally, the danger behind non-compliance is commonly underestimated. Failure to show compliance and proper infection control practices during surprise inspections can result in substantial fines, suspension of licenses, lawsuits and legal fees, loss of revenue, damage to practitioner reputation, and more.
The best way prevent the dangers lurking behind non-compliance is to be fully prepared, and there is no better preparation than education.
