Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. While many use the words cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing interchangeably – they're not quite the same. For instance, cleaning removes visible dirt, soil, and debris but does not disinfect. Disinfecting eliminates bacteria, fungi, and certain viruses but disinfecting does not clean or remove dirt. And finally, Sanitizing reduces the number of germs on surfaces or objects to a safe level but does not fully eliminate them. Today we'll be discussing these areas and how we use common sense knowledge to make wise decisions to protect ourselves, our team, and our practice. Our guest, Shannon Pace Brinker, is an International Speaker, Author and Dental Assistant for over 32 years.
