RELEASED January 2023!

A 5-minute digital video that uses real dental healthcare personnel (DHCP) to highlight:

• common dental infection control and safety flaws,
• the cross-contamination DHCP would see if saliva were red, and
• how controlling contamination by using personal barrier protection, safe work practices, and effective infection control products, reduces the risk of exposure.

Produced without a voice track, the video uses visual rather than verbal cues to stress the need for procedure-specific dental infection control, making it a suitable training tool for classrooms and practices around the world, regardless of native language.

Also included, is the How to Tell the Story: A Facilitator's Guide. This guide provides facilitators, educators, consultants, and in-practice instructors with visual cues and talking points from the video, answers to common questions, a checklist of the elements of a comprehensive dental personnel training program, and a list of resources.
