Educators in dental hygiene, dental assisting, and dental schools play a pivotal role in shaping the future of oral healthcare. Preparing students to meet the highest standards of infection prevention and patient safety is more important than ever. The Association for Dental Safety (ADS) workbooks are designed to support your curriculum, ensuring your students graduate with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to deliver safe, effective care from day one.

What Makes Our Workbooks Special

• Up-to-date, evidence-based content: Our workbooks are regularly updated to reflect the latest regulatory recommendations and best practices. The 2025 editions include updated references and minor content corrections.
• Easy Proof of Course Completion: Need to test your students’ knowledge upon workbook completion? Each workbook includes an online assessment (instructions on the inside cover). Students get their pass or fail result immediately and are emailed a certificate of completion.
• Format Options to Suit Your Students' Needs: The 2025 editions are now available in two formats: 
• Print: Students receive a professionally bound, traditional copy shipped directly to their address in the United States or Canada. This format allows them to take notes, highlight key information, and easily refer back to the material whenever needed—supporting active learning and effective study habits. Except for Canada, print copies are not available for international shipping.
• Digital-Only (online PDF): Students can access their workbook online anytime, featuring a clickable table of contents, hyperlinked references, and fully searchable text. This convenient, eco-friendly option enables quick navigation and easy information retrieval, supporting flexible learning from any device. Access is provided through June 30, 2028. (Digital editions are view-only; downloading or printing is not available.)

Bring Guidelines to Life in the Classroom

While CDC guidelines outline what dental professionals should do, they don’t necessarily explain how to do it. From Policy to Practice: ADS’s Guide to the CDC Guidelines provides clear, actionable instructions for tasks, ensuring that every learner knows exactly what to do and how to do it. This practical approach helps students move beyond theory and into effective, consistent infection control practices they’ll carry into their future careers.

Interactive Learning for Deeper Understanding

OSHA & CDC Guidelines: ADS Interact Training System covers a wide range of infection control and health and safety issues, featuring fill-in-the-blank exercises, discussion questions, and practical activities. These tools encourage active participation, critical thinking, and collaboration among students. Educators can use these exercises to spark classroom discussions, assess comprehension, and reinforce key concepts in infection prevention and safety.
