INDUSTRY: DENTAL MEDICINE

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity, commonly in the dentition but also the oral mucosa, and of adjacent and related structures and tissues, particularly in the maxillofacial (jaw and facial) area.

Infection Control

Reducing the risk of cross contaminationand infection is an important, yet difficult task in all dental and orthodontic practices. Protecting yourself and your patients is a key component in keeping a clean work environment andpreventing the spreading of germs.Infections may be transmitted by blood, body fluids, air, respiratory secretions or by direct contact with other infectious materials. Following infection control guidelines(CFR 1910.1030), using personal protective equipment, and treating all bodily fluids as if they are infectious are ways to do so.

Infection control guidelinesare put in place to ensure the basic safety of all parties involved in any given dental procedure. This may include but not be limited to basic use ofpersonal protective equipment,disinfecting andprotecting exposed surfaces with barriersin the environment, andsterilizing reusable instruments and tools.Following regulated guidelines is necessary in keeping a clean, safe work environment.

Personal Protective Equipment (P.P.E.)

2022世界杯南美区预选赛 is required when working directly with bodily fluids, such as saliva and blood. Blood borne pathogens and respiratory pathogens are just two major dangers of practicing dentistry.Single-use medical exam gloves, tray covers, andpatient bibsare just a few products that will help keep harmful germs and bacteria from spreading. Taking extra precaution by the use of safety goggles,N95 respirators,ATSM rated face masksorface shields, and lab jackets orisolation gownsmay also be required for some procedures. More coverage reduces the risk of contracting and spreading potentially deadly germs.

Extending protection to your patients after they leave your office is also helpful.Orthodontic patient kits,patient retainer or appliance boxes, andtoothbrushesare available and provide the tools that are necessary to maintain good oral hygiene away from home.
