What are the chances of my getting Hepatitis or Aids from a patient?
The dental programs use Standard Precautions as the basis for infection control procedures. That means that all patients are treated as though they have an infectious disease. You will take a course that provides proper training in how to work safely and effectively prevent the transmission of disease in dental treatment. The risk of disease transmission from patient to members of the dental team is extremely low.
