Protecting Patient Safety: How ADS is Filling the Gap in Infection Prevention (Ep 165)

Matt Crespin welcomes Michelle Strange as co-host for a timely conversation with Michelle Lee from the Association for Dental Safety (ADS) during Dental Infection Control Awareness Month (DICAM). When the CDC eliminated its Division of Oral Health back in April, ADS stepped up to fill the gap. They launched the ADS Institute for Dental Safety and Science to oversee the dental infection prevention guidelines that thousands of practitioners rely on daily. Michelle Lee talks through the ADS’s innovative "Ask ADS" AI chat tool — your go-to for vetted infection control answers. She also shares important upcoming dental infection events. Your hosts address common misconceptions in infection control compliance and the importance of moving beyond legacy errors. This episode is packed with practical insights every dental professional needs to keep patient safety front and center. Guest: Michelle Lee, CPC, Executive Director, Association for Dental Safety Co-Hosts: Matt Crespin, MPH, RDH, FADHA and Michelle Strange, MSDH, RDH Important Links:  https://www.myads.org https://www.myads.org/press-releases https://www.myads.org/ask-ads https://www.myads.org/resources
