In this episode, the team is joined by Michelle Strange, MSDH, RDH. Michelle is the founder of “The Tale of Two Hygienists” podcast, and Level Up Infection Prevention. She has over 21 years experience in dentistry.

The team discusses bringing awareness to the Infection Control Coordinator role (ICC) in a dental office, and creating a culture around safety for both clinicians and patients. Michelle also speaks on the safety measures that are being put in place in dental offices to make them more safe against airborne viruses, and the strong benefits of telemedicine.

“There’s a lot of factors in standard precautions that we should be practicing without question every single day, every single patient, every single minute as we step into a dental practice.” - Michelle Strange, MSDH, RDH
