About This Webinar
It has been extremely difficult for dentists to deliver patient care with the strict implementation of the new Infection Prevent and Control procedures since the COVID-19 pandemic. Every office must comply with digital screening, aerosol-generating procedures, and rigorous documentation of every procedure done.

That's why it is absolutely critical for dental practices to implement the best infection prevention and control procedures to help protect the patients' safety, as well as your staff.

Dr. Natalie Archer, Founder and CEO of Archer Dental Group, and Joan Hutchings, Co-Founder of S.A.F.E. Dentistrywill provide critical information to assist your dental team in protecting themselves and their patients against infections while reducing the risk of disease transmission in the office.
