I would like to comment on the proposal to require annual certification in infection control for dental assistants. Our office continues to hold infection control in the highest of standards. Every new employee is required to train in infection control first, before any other duties. If the state wants to require this then they should place the training online FREE OF CHARGE. Small practices like mine cannot continue to be taxed with these extra annual fees. Especially in this time of recovery. If the board considers this to be of utmost importance, then it should be available free of charge online so as not to burden practices with yet another cost.
