SAVE TIME • SAVE MONEY
-- Updated 2025 --
This updated edition contains a large digital resource of material as to how to operate a dental practice safely and efficiently according to CDC standards and OSHA Law. There are areas for sterilization efficiency and both employee and patient protection. Spreadsheets for documentation are included for keeping with up with laws providing a high level of risk management (if you don’t document it, you can’t prove you did it). It includes the templates for OSHA plans that you must have for your practice. Please note: Even if CDC and OSHA changes are made during the current administration, risk management is still warranted. Do not let this document overwhelm you as all of it in its entirety will be an excellent guide.
