Water is a vital component of modern dentistry and water quality affects nearly every function of dental offices.  Dental units supply water for most every dental procedure from routine prophies to complex restorative procedures.  This webinar will discuss the importance of using clean and safe water, guidelines, and regulations for water quality, and how to ensure continuous delivery of safe water during dental care.

“The educational teaching methodology used in this course is live, interactive lecture presented via Zoom webinar with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the live webinar and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts. In addition, question and answer periods are provided for at the conclusion of each section of the live webinar.”
