Our Infection Control Policies
What is the importance of infection control in dentistry? There have been numerous instances of the spread of diseases like Hepatitis B from patient to patient via dental clinics. Some of the highly infectious diseases like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV can be stopped from transmission by using proper infection control measures.
