View show details

Most dental teams were never taught about waterline safety in school, yet it has become one of the most important infection control topics in modern dentistry. In this episode, Angela Simmons shares why dental unit waterlines remain a misunderstood area of compliance and what practices need to do to better protect patients. Angela and Kevin Henry discuss the challenges of getting waterline protocols, infection control procedures, and risk management strategies implemented consistently across dental practices and DSOs. They also explore how overloaded dental assistants are often expected to manage critical compliance tasks without enough training, support, or understanding of why those tasks matter. The conversation highlights the value of standardized processes, better communication, and investing in team education to improve compliance, patient safety, and long term practice success.
