Indiana Department of Health Shares Infection Prevention Updates
The Indiana Department of Health webpage on injection safety has been redesigned. While transmission of infectious diseases in dental facilities is rare, it does occur. Common infection prevention and control (IPC) lapses identified in dental facilities include unsafe injection practices and improper disinfection and sterilization of dental equipment. The updated IDOH is helpful and strives to keep dental workers and patients safe.
