Let’s be honest, infection control isn’t failing because teams don’t care. It’s failing because the systems don’t work.
In this high-energy, real-world course, the instructor pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening in dental practices, where shortcuts creep in, where protocols break down, and how small gaps can turn into big risks.
From disinfection and sterilization to waterlines, waste management, and respiratory protection, this course connects the dots between what you’ve been taught and what actually happens during a busy clinical day. Using current CDC guidance and relatable scenarios, Karen shares practical ways to tighten systems without slowing your team down.
No fluff. No unrealistic expectations. Just smart, efficient strategies that make compliance doable and defensible.
If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better way,” this is it!
