@lisacurbow: Think the saliva stays in the mouth? Look again. 👀 Every green speck in this photo shows where saliva, bacteria, biofilm, and splatter can travel during dental treatment. Onto our gloves. Our gowns. Our masks. Our loupes. Our skin. And the surfaces around us. Most of the time, we can’t actually see this happening. That doesn’t mean it isn’t there. This is exactly why PPE, high-volume evacuation, proper surface disinfection, and strong infection-control protocols matter. Dental aerosols and splatter don’t just stay in one place. They travel. And once you can see it, it’s pretty hard to unsee. #DentalHygiene #InfectionControl #DentalAerosols #DentalEducation

It reminds me of that video I watched called If Saliva Were Blood. We all should watch that as human beings. And some healthcare workers would understand the importance of infection control

I once had a dentist tell me that I didn’t belong in this field because I wore as much PPE as possible and that I should be sitting behind a desk instead. Meanwhile, he was wearing his mask below his nose during procedures😂🤷🏻‍♀️
