Episode Summary

Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Today we'll be discussing the latest updates from the CDC related to masks and face shields in the clinical setting. We'll also be addressing the issue of low quality face masks that infiltrated the U.S. market during the COVID-19 pandemic. How do we know for sure that the masks we're wearing in our practice actually provide us with the protection we need? To answer these questions and more, we asked Mary Govoni to join us on this podcast.
