 Overview
The ADA has long advocated the use of infection control procedures in dental practice and has provided dentists with resources to help them implement the procedures. The ADA works with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to develop CDC's infection control recommendations for dentistry, which were first issued in 1993.
You may not be aware that sterilization and other infection control precautions take place before your dental visit because many of these procedures occur in another area of the dental office. If you would like to know more about how your dental office safeguards your health, here are questions about infection control that you can ask.
