Quotes

 

“I immediately ordered some in office tests and we failed…we failed miserably”

 

“You can just squirt some water in there and expect the biofilm to go away”

 

“I personally want you to get below 200 every time you test” 

 

“We do this to keep you safe, and your patients safe”  

 

“The vast majority of those aerosols are coming from water that is aerosolized from our dental unit waterlines, not aerosolized saliva"

 

“Think about that when you say’ ehh I don’t really need to do that testing thing’”

 

“The biggest mistake, is not doing it”

 

“Of all the offices I temp in, none of them are testing”

 

 “Only 30% of offices are doing this”

 

“I have never tracked how much water I am using with my patients… I am not putting hash marks on the wall”

 

“Dead biofilm is great food for new biofilm…it gets out of control"
