Infection control is the backbone of patient safety in any dental practice, and it is one of the first skills taught at Atlanta Roswell Dental Assisting School in Roswell, Georgia. The 10-week certificate program dedicates significant time to OSHA standards, sterilization techniques, barrier precautions, and the management of contaminated instruments - areas where a dental assistant's competence directly affects patient outcomes. The school's campus includes a state-of-the-art sterilization room equipped with an autoclave sterilizer and ultrasonic cleaner, so students learn instrument processing using the same equipment found in professional dental offices. Understanding how to correctly operate sterilization equipment, document compliance, and maintain a clean clinical environment is not optional knowledge - it is a non-negotiable expectation of every dental assistant working in a licensed practice. The DA 101 lab session, Basic Chairside Assisting and Infection Control, gives students practical experience applying the infection control principles they have studied online. This early hands-on reinforcement helps concepts stick and builds the good habits that students will carry throughout their careers. Instructors at the school bring real clinical backgrounds https://atlantaroswelldentalassistingschool.com/about-us/ to these sessions, offering insights that go beyond what any manual can teach.
