With all the lines coming in and going out of our operatories, do we understand how to care for them for maximum efficiency, effectiveness, and safety?

Science proves most of the aerosols originate from our (Dental Unit Waterlines) DUWLs. And of course, our suction is critical, keeping our patients from drowning!  Attendees will learn the why, how, and what of dental water and suction lines. You will leave this course as a "Line Leader", returning to your operatory with the confidence that you "Know Your Lines!!!"
