Quotes

"The pandemic hit and all of a sudden my epidemiology background was much more useful than I ever imagined."

"About 4776 hygienists were generous enough with their time to participate."

"I was really glad we looked at peoples infection control and prevention practices within dental offices."

"It will be interesting to see what stays, we learned so much about patient and provider safety."

"7.9% of dental hygienists have left their position since the onset of the pandemic, which translates to about 18,000 dental hygienists."

"When we look at the degree of infection among dental professionals, it is very low."
