Quotes

 

“None of the cases we had reported, reported that they were infected in the dental office.” 

 

“99.3% reported they were using enhanced infection control protocols.”

 

“It’s part of our life to protect ourselves and our patients.”

 

“ADA and ADHA have joined forces, and we are using the same survey we used with dentists, with dental hygienists.” 

 

“The research institution now has 5 departments.”

 

“They are creating things that are not yet in the dental offices.” 

 

“I think the work we did this year on Covid-19 shows that creating this subsidiary was the right choice.” 

 

“Being in buffalo changed my life, I saw that I could do so much more for the profession in research than in clinic.”

 

“I need to learn, Michelle.”
