    Guidelines vs. Standards in Dental IPAC: Does the Difference Matter?

    In the world of dental infection prevention and control (IPAC), the terms *guidelines* and *standards* are often used as if they mean the same thing. But should they be? And more importantly … does it matter?

    Yes, it matters. A lot.

    What's the Difference?

    Standards are formal, enforceable requirements set by regulatory bodies. They are the minimum expectations for safe and ethical practice. Meeting these standards is not optional—they are legally binding, and failing to comply can lead to professional consequences, including disciplinary action or loss of license.

    Guidelines, on the other hand, are recommendations. They are typically developed by public health agencies, expert panels, or research organizations.

    Step Wedges Still Matter: Why Your Dental Office Needs This Simple QA Tool

    In today’s high-tech dental world, quality assurance (QA) often brings to mind automated sensors and software calibration. But there's one old-school, low-tech tool that remains just as essential as ever: the step wedge. Health Canada’s Safety Code 30 and best practice guidelines still recommend regular use of this tool to ensure your dental radiography systems are functioning correctly (Health Canada, 2022).

This test helps evaluate the consistency of image quality and monitor changes in exposure, sensor calibration, or processing systems (for fil

    National Dental Hygienists Week: A Celebration of Our Profession

    April 4 to 10 is our week, fellow RDHs! National Dental Hygienists Week™ (NDHW™) is a time to reflect on how far we've come as a profession, celebrate our contributions to oral health, and continue advocating for a future where everyone has access to preventive care. We are the unsung heroes of dentistry, bridging the gaps in healthcare, fostering trust with our clients, and standing at the forefront of prevention.

    For decades, RDHs were restricted to working under strict supervision, but as research reinforced the connection between oral and systemic health, our role expanded. And now? We are essential members of the healthcare team. We've earned our
