A Dental student outreach is eyed
A growing apprehension over patient safety in dental outreach programs has led the ADA to distribute a new policy on student participation.
Approved by the House of Delegates in Resolution 31H-2010, the policy aims to bolster the safety of patients taking part in outreach programs by reminding students to follow ethics codes, licensed dentists to supervise students, and students to do only what they have been educated and trained to do.
