Course Overview

Join Elevated Dental Education for a live virtual continuing education course covering two required California topics: Infection Control and the California Dental Practice Act.
This practical, team-focused course is designed to help dental professionals understand current infection-control standards, everyday compliance expectations, and the California laws and regulations that affect dental practice.

Topics include sterilization and instrument processing, PPE, dental unit waterlines, sharps safety, surface disinfection, exposure-control requirements, scope of practice, licensing responsibilities, recordkeeping, and other key Dental Practice Act requirements.
The course is presented in a clear, real-world format with examples from everyday dental practice so attendees can better understand not only what the regulations require, but how to apply them in the office.
