When it comes to buying your dental supplies, everyone is looking to save money. But when you're shopping for PPE, like a dental glove or mask, you have to be extremely cautious about whom you're actually buying from. After all, gloves and masks are considered medical devices. So the question is, do you completely trust your vendor and are you sure you're actually getting PPE that has gone through the rigorous quality control that's part and parcel with an FDA-approved and medical grade device? To help us better understand how to manage the cost and quality of our PPE, are two incredibly knowledgeable people, Linda Harvey and Mary Govoni. They are arguably among the best educators, authors and speakers on the topic of Infection Prevention and Control.

Dental practices rely on the results from CDC recommended spore tests to assess whether their sterilizers are functioning properly. Today we'll talk about the other critical components of quality assurance, which are sterilization indicators and integrators. Our guest is Mary Govoni, a speaker, author and consultant on Infection Prevention Control and regulatory compliance. She assists dental teams in achieving compliance with OSHA standards and CDC guidelines, as well as following appropriate infection control protocols.

Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Dental professionals have faced challenges in obtaining PPE during the pandemic. In some cases, due to perceived shortages and increasing PPE costs, dental practices resorting to unfamiliar suppliers may buy PPE that is not NIOSH certified or FDA cleared for use in healthcare settings, putting both the dental teams and patients at risk. Today we'll be discussing the agencies that test and approve PPE for use in these settings, how to access proper resources to ensure a dental practice is using approved PPE, and what criteria to follow when making product selections for PPE.

Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. All through the pandemic dental professionals have struggled with the issue of exposure to airborne infectious disease. Supplies of surgical masks and respirators have been in short supply and guidance from regulatory agencies, such as OSHA and the CDC, have been, to say the least, a bit confusing at times. To help us better understand the latest OSHA regulations and CDC guidance for respiratory protection during aerosol-generating procedures is Mary Govoni. Mary is an internationally recognized speaker, author, and consultant. She has a Masters in Business Administration, and is a RDH and CDA.
