Swine Flu prevention in the dental care setting

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has published a document, Prevention of Swine Influenza A (H1N1) in the Dental Healthcare Setting. This document provides guidance for dental health care providers for treating patients with acute respiratory infections and influenza. It is recommended that all health care professionals continue to check the CDC’s H1N1 website regularly.

The American Dental Association has also published information on the topic: H1N1 Flu.

Also, the Organization for Safety & Asepsis Procedures, a US based organization dedicated to promoting infection control and safety policies and practices supported by science and research to the global dental community, has published Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus Resources for Dental Professionals.
