Course Description:
In this course, we will explore and unpack the microscopic world of dental water science with a focus on Georgia’s specific requirements for dental unit waterline compliance. We’ll discuss the reality of biofilm in most dental unit waterlines, review the impact that poor waterline maintenance has had in the industry, and break down what Georgia’s Board of Dentistry requires—including the 90-day testing rule and documentation expectations.

Course Objectives:
- Understand why waterline maintenance is critical to both patient safety and your practice’s compliance.

- Dive into the science behind biofilm and why it is so persistent and difficult to control.

- Know what it takes to meet CDC guidelines and protect your practice from risk.

- Learn Georgia’s state-specific requirements, including testing frequency, documentation, and inspection readiness.

- Master the 3-step protocol (Shock-Treat-Test) and how to implement it effectively in your office.
