CDC Interim Guidance

Find the most up-to-date information about infection prevention and control practices on CDC’s COVID-19 page, including CDC’s Interim Infection Prevention and Control Recommendations for Healthcare Personnel During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic, which is applicable to all U.S. settings where healthcare is delivered, including dental settings.

Developed for dental clinicians, front office staff, and other personnel, the OSAP/CareQuest Institute Best Practices for Infection Control in Dental Clinics During the COVID-19 Pandemic document is a compilation of current regulations, guidance, and practice tips, and has two sections, a practical checklist, and a companion resources/tools section. 

ADS developed resources to supplement CDC guidance with additional considerations for practical implementation to protect the health, safety, and well-being of students, teachers, staff, and dental healthcare personnel (DHCP) who participate in school sealant programs (SSPs).

As a consultant/speaker, we encourage you to share these COVID-19 resources with your clients/audiences.
