Description

The Harford Couty Health Dept. Dental clinic serves the underserved populations of the county; as well as having a dedicated HIV+ dental treatment program monthly. They also have an active mobile pediatric program for oral health care screenings provided for patients in a school setting. Dental health care providers from three clinical locations throughout the county attend the trainings, which have been provided for the last 12th years. In addition, we support them with policy development, provide resources and assist with the identification and management of the OSHA requirements for Mobile Dental Care. The program reviews the Bloodborne and Airborne pathogen standards. It includes a group discussion and a question and answer session.
