Developing Safety awareness week under development
The ADA is taking the lead in ensuring that the equipment used in dental offices is safe for patients.
The Council on Dental Education and Licensure is developing a general safety awareness week targeted to dentists, planned for this year.
“American dentistry has a tremendous safety record,” said Dr. Brian T. Kennedy, CDEL chair. “But safety checks are relatively simple to do, and we should all be reminded to perform them on an annual basis. Our ultimate goal is to achieve a safer treatment environment for patients and a safer practicing environment for members.”
