Hand Hygiene in Practice

Hand hygiene in a dental practice is one of the most important parts of the infection control process in reducing the risk of transmitting microorganisms from provider to patient. 

 

Good hand washing is a simple yet effective way to prevent the spread of germs between patients and dental professionals. The whole team within a dental practice is responsible for the prevention of spreading germ. It is essential for all team members to receive full hand hygiene training and be aware of how to effectively perform the correct hand hygiene methods and how to comply with legislation.
