Tap a topic to see what’s covered. Training is led on-site, tailored to your team.
Dental Sterilizer Awareness
Dental Sterilizer Awareness
When sterilizers malfunction, they delay workflows and compromise patient safety. This session covers spotting early warning signs — slow heat-up, failed spore tests, clogged filters — and basic maintenance to prevent damage and downtime.
Dental Office HIPAA Training
Dental Office HIPAA Training
Streamlined HIPAA training to keep your team compliant and protect patient privacy — how to properly handle, use, and share patient records. Covers key rules, safeguards, and documentation your practice needs to stay secure and legally compliant.
Operatory Maintenance
Operatory Maintenance
Covers operatory equipment maintenance to cut repair costs and downtime: vacuum line and air compressor care, correct handpiece air pressure, waterline cleaning, disinfection and transport protocols, operatory lighting and organization, and when it’s time to replace equipment.
OSHA / CDC Compliance
OSHA / CDC Compliance
Quick, practical training on dental OSHA and CDC requirements: infection control, PPE, hazardous materials, and emergency procedures. OSHA compliance is required by law and essential for protecting staff, patients, and your practice.
Instrument Processing
Instrument Processing
Handpieces and instruments are precision tools that need consistent care to avoid overheating, reduced torque, and early failure. Covers daily cleaning, weekly inspections, lubrication best practices, infection prevention, and how to audit for sharpening or replacement.
