Oral health services during COVID 19: cleaning, disinfection and sterilization procedures (video 3)

This short video explains World Health Organization recommendations for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization procedures that should be in place in oral healthcare services during the COVID19 pandemic. The procedures are designed to protect both patients and oral healthcare personnel from infection with the COVID19 virus. The video is primarily intended for use in trainings for oral health teams on infection prevention and control. More generally, target audiences are public health authorities, in particular those responsible for oral health, and oral healthcare personnel undertaking or assisting in the procedures described, working in both the public and private sectors. People considering making an appointment for oral health and dental care may also find it useful as a reference for the practices that they should expect to see in oral and dental healthcare centres during the pandemic and beyond.
